For various arcane reasons, it has become desirable to change the font for PrefLetter.
My hard-working (and much abused) typesetter has proposed five PrefLetter_typeface_ideas that will meet the technical requirements:
- Frutiger
- Frutiger Condensed
- Slate Std.
- Myriad Pro
- Berkeley
Have a look at the five PrefLetter_typeface_ideas and let me know in the comments or by eMail if you have any preference! The change will be effective with the May edition.
OK, I open the bidding with votes for #3 first and #4 second. #3 is presumably Slate Std and #4 Myriad pro.
#3 is presumably Slate Std and #4 Myriad pro.
Yes, I listed the fonts in order.
For me the easiest to read is Frutiger (#1) followed by Slate Std (#3). In last place for legibility by quite a bit is Frutiger Condensed (#2).
#4, then #1.
Good luck finding a consensus!
I vote for 2 types of newsletters-
One for those with an IQ above 170 ( yourself, prefhound and norbert who all appear to have PHDs in differential calculus and algebra ) and one newsletter for simple folk like me…….
#3, then a tie (#1, #4).
lyndon, you’ll make me blush!
There are two eMailed votes so far:
M&D tell me For aging eyes the first example (Frutiger?) is without doubt the most readable.
The first example is indeed Frutiger.
SL claims: FRUTIGER! That’s it! Nothing else for my old eyes.
First, I know for a fact that Lyndon is a sandbagger about his own IQ!
Second, I suggest that you weight the voting by your personal revenue generated from each participant….
[…] The font for PrefLetter has been changed to Frutiger by popular demand! […]
