IKEA have changed the font in their catalogues!!

This Crikey article is a great read. It has turned into a full blown expose of what constitutes a good font in print and on the computer screen. It does make me laugh when I think of how fussy we can get, as designers, when deciding on the best font/s to use when designing.

Have a read. There are a lot of great posts here, including this: "To designers, who care for their type and fonts like policemen care for doughnuts, IKEA swapping Futura for Verdana is an exceedingly dumb thing".
