I doubt it. Hollister sells $32 jeans. No one in the luxury space wants to copy that. They are probably copying Tom Ford which uses Gotham. Tom Ford sells $4000 leather bags.

Uggh. I dislike the new Burberry logo. All these brands seemed to be moving to Gotham, Futura, or Proxima Nova. My guess is that is because the typeface has to look good in print, signage, large screens, small screens, stitched into cloth

This is unfortunately because Toronto is Air Canada's hub and Calgary is WestJet's hub. You can get directly to a few places from YVR. But eventually you have to fly through Calgary, Toronto, SFO, SEA, LAX, ORD, JFK, etc to get t

Brutal? Sounds like a regular blue collar job. I worked as a sparkwatch at a plywood plant in high school. Basically, a welder’s assistant. This is what regular blue collar jobs look like. You work 12 hour shifts. The machinery is hot.

That is not a very nuanced definition of freedom and democracy. The first UK prime minister was elected in 1721 and still serves at the pleasure of the monarch. The French Revolution started in 1789. And of course, the Declaration of Inde
