Very cool. I wonder how many of them are free fonts. Also, I’m amazed why nobody used Helvetica.

Thanks for the posting. May I know where can I find CANON font?
Thanks in advance.
16. Feb. 2010.
Canon font name is Denda New and it was designed by Fred Smeijers. More about the font in his book “Type Now” (http://www.hyphenpress.co.uk/books/978-0-907259-24-4).
“Denda – A contemporary sanserif initiated in 2000 by TBWA\Designers Company for their redesign of Canon Europe packaging. This typeface comes in four weights, in roman and matching italics: for use by Canon Europe in general publicity, manuals, and packaging. It is a custom-made design, not publicly available.”

Agreeing with Richie, there’d have to be some Helvetica out there?
Nice idea Zoren, it’ll be great if it you keep going.

16. Feb. 2010.

16. Feb. 2010.
I can’t thank you enough for this list. This is the best list ever! I’ve been scouring the net looking for some of them..

Neat idea for a post. Garamond in it’s various forms has to be an all-time achievement: to be part of the beginning and still be alive and kicking many centuries on.
myspace, arial rounded bold! We all know the story to arial, Although I have regularly used it for windows based PowerPoints to see it used like this leaves a slightly uncomfortable feeling. I would like to see the designer pitching the idea to the customer…
However a great way of showing the power of a typeface to communicate.

Do you happen to know what font is parents magazine?
Also I downloaded some fonts (loki-cola and the I dream of Jeannie font) from some site and can never get them to work. I put them in the folder with the existing fonts in my computer. I guess they’re not installed properly. I don’t know if you can help me with this one.
