journalized ketchup

Journal 8.
Futura MADNESS

well i was reading the main article, and i also read thirteen ways of looking at type. I really enjoyed these two articles a lot. There was a ton of truth to each one that i have personally noticed in my short time in the "know" of design. Futura is used everywhere, but i do argue that it is an attractive typeface. its clean, its readable, and decievingly modern looking even though its a century old.
Thirteen ways also made its point that there is a time, a place, and a reason to use every typeface, and that really got me thinking, so i tried to replace futura, or at least find some that i would call similar. so here it is:

Akizdenz Grotesk
Bell Gothic
Gill Sans
Gotham-Light
Kozuka Gothic Pro
Letter Gothic Std
Meta
News Gothic
Priori San

These are some pretty slick san serifs. i really do enjoy them. check em out!
