Re: Ikea Futura Verdana
Interesting post, Nichelle. I'm surprised that anyone at Ikea thought the change would go unnoticed--don't they know the world is full of font and typography geeks? And I totally agree with your assessment of the change: cheesy. The Futura spreads look simple/elegant/modern; the Verdana spreads just look... bland.

someone had to use "bland", didn't they? Story of my life! (My last name is Bland). Helluva name for a future designer, eh?
Sorry, didn't realize. :)
