the best quote about avant guarde is by Ed Benguiat, a long-time friend of herb lubalin's (font creator). it goes, "the only place avant garde looks good is in the words avant garde."
not sure i completely agree, but it puts a smile on my face whenever i see the typeface used.

avant garde gothic ( and alternate) has been consitly used since the 70ies..it was designed actually soleley to use in the magazine avnat garde...
