Hey all, I came across this interesting essay entitled "The Scourge of Arial" by type designer Mark Simonson. He's done some pretty amazing faces - Proxima amoung them - but I thought this essay would be of interest to many of you, especially since this has been a frequently recurring thread on the boards!

I use Cobain Backup http://www.cobiansoft.com/index.htm

Hi Sy_Mercade and welcome to the forum!
When you get settled, please have a look through the forum rules here. We just upgraded, so things are a little wonky right now, hope you can bear with us....

Aww, we had a bunny when I was a kid. I loved to trans it out by rubbing between its ears. We also had another rabbit. That rabbit was a bit more formidable. He chased horses....
