how about we go back to the original discussion of fonts?
does anyone here hate gill sans lowercase but get all warm and fuzzy about uppercase?
(ps i will admit i still keep a spot in my heart for that lowercase "g". bold.)

I like gill sans, except for the Uppercase R, the bold weights and the condensed. But, then, I hate the uppercase R on most sans serifs. Not that anybody gives a shit.

Frutiger, Gil Sans, Futura, have all been here since around the 1920-30's
I don't see them going anywhere anytime soon.

In 1968, Adrian Frutiger was commissioned to develop a sign and directional system for the new Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. He created Frutiger, a font whose character fit in with the modern architecture of the airport. Frutiger is neither purely constructed nor ornamental, its forms designed so that each individual character is quickly and easily recognized, even from a distance. Such clarity and legibility makes Frutiger the perfect font for signage and other applications, where the distinctness of characters is of high importance.
