You could solve a problem from an existing font. Better still, that all fonts have.

Chicago is the font that Apple used at the time and was on EVERYTHING done on home publishing software. The test ALWAYS lived in boxes with straight edges and round corners. By "round", I mean a simple arc, with one radius that is 1/4 of a circle.

I think you should do a new but traditional, cutting-edge but familiar, contrasting but harmonious, attention-grabbing but invisible, best for body and optimum for headings, tall but short and light but dark. Perhaps a block serif sans.

Actually, even without pics, it might be pretty worthless. I looked at the details about the fonts and the foundry is listed. It still seems strange that they did not put initials of the foundry at the end of the name. Maybe it was a marketing thing - they wanted their Futura to be the one true Futura and not sullied by reference to the foundry that created the digital version, and the implication that it was not the original and true Futura.

P.S. How do I add pics?

On the OEM Font page there are numerous Futuras. One is Futura and one is Futura(R). Plus there are others with one or two initials after them.

On the Monotype website, there are two futuras. One is called Futura(R) and the other is called Futura. (R) = the copyright symbol. They are different. The most obvious difference seems to be that the capital U of the Futura without and (R) has a flattened base and is not just a simple arc. I thought that Futura was Futura unless, maybe, a particular foundary was specified, of someone decided to "improve" on it. What gives?? I want to match a sign in my building foyer, and the sign seems to use the Futura without an (R). How do I specify the right one??
