IKEA have turned their back on 50 years of Futura and are using the hyper-ugly Verdana typeface in their 2010 catalogue – apparently because it includes additional characters such as those required for Asian-language character sets. Surely they could have found something better for their catalogue? Even if they used Verdana for the body copy of the website? Which of course is crazy in itself when you have Helvetica and Arial (for the less fortunate non-Mac users)…
