while we're on it, I saw a Jil Sander ad that employed what seemed to be a more refined version of Futura than the usual... any thought on what this might be?

Gotham has that geometric cleanliness going for it, but not so strictly geometric as Avant Garde. Also, Gotham doesn't suck, which is nice. I hate Avant Garde. I hate it like I hate squash, pencil jeans and Kevin Bacon.
