Does anyone know exactly what the font used at the top of this page for the line "P22 type foundry website homepage is"? It's similar to Verdana,but not quite.Any information would be appreciated.



P.S.The webpage is here:

<a href="http://www.p22.com"; target="_blank">http://www.p22.com</a>;

Well all sans serif fonts are more or less similar.



Gil Sans is closer.



Maybe close enough?

It is Johnston's "London Underground," not Gill Sans, though Gill, if I recall, studied with Johnston.



Guess what, they sell it, too.

I know not all sans fonts look alike.



My point was that if you think that Gil Sans (or london underground) is close to Verdana (which they don't to me) then relatively speaking many sans serif fonts look similar.



There is just a whole lot more that you can do to differentiate serif fonts from one another that you can't do by definition to sans fonts...
