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?
