Still With the San Serif Typefaces
In my continuing search to find what I would consider the ultimate (widely usable and visually pleasing) san serif, I think I've come to a conclusion. Over the years I've spent looking, I've settled for a while on Frutiger light. A lovely face sure, but a few years later I discovered Myriad and fell in love with the fluid, clean lines of Myriad Pro Light. Lighter than Frutiger and more lyrical when set, with those exquisite, almost imperceptible caligraphy-like thinning in area's like the shoulder of the n, p, r, q etc... I've tried Vectora Light, Lucida Sans (too square) of course Helvetica light and several others, but I keep coming back to Myriad. I realize that what I want is Myriad, with a double-story, lowercase g that has a loop and link like the one in Agenda and Freight (below), and a little more "swing" in the lower case a's tail, also like like Agenda. Know of any faces that might fit the bill?
