The A on the cover is Limited. Not Corporate as the A in that doesn’t look the same. Yes, similar in look but not the same. The rest of the type on the cover of the book is Limited typeface.
John, you didn’t read the post, did you? Patrick pointed out that it’s Limited, and included a link to a comparison that shows the subtle differences between Corporate and Limited.
Apparently you’re taking exception to the fact that we are grouping Corporate and its close (but not quite identical) follower Limited on one typeface page. We pondered the idea of giving them separate pages. I mentioned I’m wary we won’t always have text that includes the tell-tale glyphs. Patrick said it’s okay for him to keep them all grouped under Corporate.
I asked you that question – whether you argue that Limited should have its own typeface entry – in a different thread, too … but you didn’t reply.
