Univers is the name of a sans-serif typeface family designed by Adrian Frutiger and released in 1957. It is sans-serif in a geometrical style. It was made in a huge range of weights and widths. Univers was based on a much earlier design of about 1898, called Akzidenz-Grotesk. Univers was one of the first typeface families to fulfil the idea that a typeface should form a family of consistent, related designs. By creating a matched range of styles and weights, Univers allowed documents to be created in one consistent typeface for all text documents. This matched the desire among practitioners of the "Swiss style" of typography for neutral sans-serif typefaces avoiding artistic excesses. By "excesses" might be meant blackletter, which had been used earlier in German language publications. But Univers also leaves out all the styling of the classical Roman lettering, including the use of serifs at the end of letter strokes. One important influence was the coming of modernism, with its rejection of tradition in favour of plain function. That is mentioned by most of the people who promoted Univers and other sans serif fonts. Critics of Univers critics point to its lack of character, and monotony when used (as it is) on a huge variety of printed forms.  Historian James Mosley has described it as "probably the last major" release of a large family as metal type. The font is available for phototypesetting and computer typesetting. It is marketed under licence by almost all outlets serving the print industry.

The poem shows the early influence of Romantic literature and Pre-Raphaelite verse.  Where dips the rocky highland  Of Sleuth Wood in the lake,  There lies a leafy island  Where flapping herons wake  The drowsy water rats;  There we've hid our faery vats,  Full of berry  And of reddest stolen cherries.  "Come away, O human child!"  "To the waters and the wild"  "With a faery, hand in hand."  "For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."  Where the wave of moonlight glosses  The dim grey sands with light,  Far off by furthest Rosses  We foot it all the night,  Weaving olden dances  Mingling hands and mingling glances  Till the moon has taken flight;  To and fro we leap  And chase the frothy bubbles,  While the world is full of troubles  And is anxious in its sleep.  "Come away, O human child!"  "To the waters and the wild"  "With a faery, hand in hand,"  "For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."  Where the wandering water gushes  From the hills above Glen-Car,  In pools among the rushes  That scarce could bathe a star,  We seek for slumbering trout  And whispering in their ears  Give them unquiet dreams;  Leaning softly out  From ferns that drop their tears  Over the young streams.  "Come away, O human child!"  "To the waters and the wild"  "With a faery, hand in hand,"  "For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."  Away with us he's going,  The solemn-eyed:  He'll hear no more the lowing  Of the calves on the warm hillside  Or the kettle on

20 Fenchurch Street is a commercial skyscraper in London that takes its name from its address on Fenchurch Street, in the historic City of London financial district. It has been nicknamed "The Walkie-Talkie" because of its distinctive shape. The 34-storey building is tall, making it the fifth-tallest building in the City of London. Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly and costing over £200 million, 20 Fenchurch Street features a highly distinctive top-heavy form which appears to burst upward and outward. A large viewing deck, bar and restaurants are included on the top three floors; these are open to the public. The tower was originally proposed at nearly tall but its design was scaled down after concerns about its visual impact on the nearby St Paul's Cathedral and Tower of London. It was subsequently approved in 2006 with the revised height. Even after the height reduction there were continued concerns from heritage groups about its impact on the surrounding area. The project was consequently the subject of a public inquiry; in 2007 this ruled in the developers' favour and the building was granted full planning permission. In their preliminary results for 2007, joint-developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf Group said 20 Fenchurch Street would be completed in 2011, however in 2009 during the depths of the Great Recession, the estimated completion was changed to 2014.
