It looks like a slightly condensed version of Arial.
It also doesn't reflect SF's character in the least.
Yawnsies.

Just what the world needs: another typeface. So we can communicate better than we have for the previous 10,000 years of civilization. I feel a golden age coming on. Gives me goosebumps and I'm getting all tingly inside.

Big whoop. I thought it might be something old-timey and Victorian. Oh well.

How very drab and uninspired. Is this what San Francisco is perceived now with all the equally blah tech industry?

Now now. For all my ridicule in the previous post, this new font is a very beautiful one. Very elegant and sophisticated.

I said what I said, and now what I say, as one who spent his entire, very long career in printing graphics trades. I have worked in EVERY aspect of graphics and typography and printing. This is an outstanding design.

That said, there are a bazillion typefaces already. Bases are pretty much covered.

It's a major improvement over arial. Oh wait, it's not.

I much preferred the old San Francisco font that shipped with the original Mac back in the '80s...

Let me guess.. in the spirit of the city, you must pay a charge of $1K each time you use it.
