意识到需要一种可以在小尺寸下轻松阅读的无衬线字体后，Adrian Frutiger于1990年为Linotype设计了Vectora。他受到了Morris Fuller Benton于20世纪初为American Type Founders设计的无衬线字体如Franklin Gothic及News Gothic的影响。Vectora具有平衡单调的视觉风格、较高的x字高、紧凑独特的形状以及开放的字怀——所有这些特征都有助于提高小尺寸时的易读性。为了创作一个和谐实用的字体家族，Frutiger将所有字重和风格的设计保持一致。当无衬线字体可以用于文本排印时，Vectora是一个非常实用的选择。

Adrian Frutiger designed Vectora for Linotype in 1990, after realizing there was need for a sans serif type that could be read easily at small sizes . He was influenced by the sans serif types designed by Morris Fuller Benton in the early 1900s for American Type Founders, such as Franklin Gothic and News Gothic. Vectora has a visually balanced monotone appearance, tall x-heights, taut individual shapes, and open counterspaces - all characteristics that aid in legibility at small sizes. Frutiger also built in design consistency to all the weights and styles to create a harmonious and functional family. When a contemporary sans serif is appropriate for text typography, Vectora provides a practical choice.
