Frutiger aero also features prominently Dimentional design (depth) was also utilized in UIs with Frutiger Aero. Dimentional design itself is the use of effects such as highlights and drop shadows to replicate "3D", hence the name. Skeuomorphism on the other hand uses dimentional design in order to incorporate real-world items into UIs, such as a realistic trash can, or a wooden bookshelf.

What does "frutiger aero" mean?

Tiktok word used for pictures related to 2000-2013 era pictures where everything is heavily edited and very windows vista inspired.
The name Frutiger in Frutiger Aero came from a guy named Frutiger who used to design stuff which paved the way for this aesthetic.

I don’t know where the word aero came from but damn these tiktok kids are so annoying with their new words.
