There is a spelling error on your site. It’s not “Myraid” it’s “Myriad”

Dithapelo Kgonyane,

I’m glad that you learned a thing a two from this post.

James Kurtz,

Yes, Vincent Connare is the ‘culprit’. I agree most typefaces native to the operating systems were/are under par, but most companies are now putting more effort by investing in good typographers.

So now I know that Vincent Connare is to blame for comic sans. It’s unfortunate that the typefaces designed specifically for operating systems weren’t of better quality.

Hopefully the mistake won’t be made again. Look at Google’s Android operating system. They hired Ascender to design a beautiful family called Droid.

Hi Mokokoma,

Thank you for educating us, I didn’t know this typefaces were created/named after certain individuals because of their history.

I normally use Baskerville for writing letters and other topics as part of written communication, well i must say “education and knowledge goes a long way”

Arthur C. Van Wyk, Dave Farey designed Cachet, Matthew Butterick and Heinz Hoffmann are credited for designing Hermes. Klavika was created by Process Type Foundry.

Who are the creators of Cachet Bold (new Pick ‘n Pay font), Klavika (facebook logo font) and Hermes?

Stephen Tiano,

I don’t know anything in regards to what she is up to now, as I also have never heard anything about her work apart from the above listed typefaces.
