What's the font that says "Welcome to California" at the top here: http://www.dmv.ca.gov

That "a" is so much like the one in my eventually-to-be-released Paphos.

I think the font is Adobe's "Conga Brava" in one of its medium weights.

It "figures" that I like it - since I like Harvey's stuff. But I guess you don't think Conga Brava is typical of his style? Maybe you're right.

Dunnno - good question.
His stuff is very craftsmanlike.
But maybe I'm also influenced by his endearing character. He strikes me as the sort of person who could get away with being haughty and old-fashioned, but he's the exact opposite.
