Cafe, A (new?) typeface for ID uses is advertised in the latest (Aug. 2008) FontShop News: "With FF Netto, Daniel Utz has stripped letters of any historical detail, leaving them with the barest, clearest forms possible. This makes FF Netto ideal for wayfinding, where quick recognition is essential. A series of simple and useful icons and arrows add to its utility for information design, and intelligent borders let you group the pictograms using just a few keystrokes." See sample at http://www.fontshop.com/features/newsletters/aug08b/index.html I kinda like it.... Not sure about some of the icons, though. E.g., the 2nd from right in middle row: is this supposed to represent a baby? And if so, what message is it supposed to convey? ... that an area is baby-friendly -- that is, has tables for changing diapers, or some such?
