    Somebody loves to use British english vernacular -- why use "bespoke" rather than the US equivalent, "custom"? According to the system dictionary bespoke is usually used in reference to goods and clothing such as tailors.

    I think the AI style guide says "use 'bespoke' at least once per article if at all possible."

    I say bring back the original (1984) San Fransisco typefaces!

    I'm surprised no one has mocked up what the Apple site would look like using the REAL San Francisco font--the bizarre, ransom-note font that debuted with the original Mac.

    Had not read your post before I posted. ;)
    Glad you put it up (started to say got it up...).
    Great minds do apparently think (and post) alike.

    @retrogusto: bravo for your mockup.  B)

    Something is off about this new type font. Doesn't look right. Less professional. Less clarity. More child-like. Harder on the eyes.
    Yeah San Francisco looks worse--from designer grade to a 5th grader homework font...
