They're not at all the same font. If your job was creating fonts, you'd notice the differences.

  And since most people's jobs are not creating fonts, most people wouldn't notice the difference. There-in lies the challenge. Typography /is/ important, but it may not be as important as typographists think that it is.

    (I tell this story a lot.) I heard an ad on the radio a while back, from the American Podiatry Association, which recommended that everybody should schedule a checkup with their podiatrist once a year to maintain foot health. I am sure that 95% of podiatrists honestly believe that's good and important advice. Just as 95% of font designers honestly think that subtle differences in kerning are strongly impactful.

      > which recommended that everybody should schedule a checkup with their podiatrist once a year to maintain foot health. Considering the large numbers of diabetics or pre-diabetics in the USA this isn’t actually a stretch.
