Ruder’s elegant and rhythmic series of ten covers experiment with typographic variations on a fixed theme using Adrian Frutiger’s Univers. Ruder uses different type sizes, weights and positioning while keeping the basic theme intact. “Variation involves singling out a mean value and calls for the ability to put this mean value through as many transformations as possible.”
