In art school, we had to paint this typeface in the “Introduction to Typography” course. Looking back, I appreciate the focus we put on it because of how elegant and useful it is. It has a lot of personality to it but remains functional at the same time. No surprise that Apple has used it in their award winning ad campaigns including “Think Different” and Dr. Seuss and J.K Rowling have used it to typeset their books (according to Wikipedia).

So Cosmo says you’re fat
Well I ain’t down with that!
