OCRK, designed by Joe Kral. This came up on the ’type id’ board. If I remember rightly Citibank has a custom version.

See also this on Joe Kral’s health crisis.

I don’t know the ads and signage, so I’m going to assume that their face must be different from the other monospaced Citibank font, a custom Interstate (http://orangeitalic.com/intmono.shtml), right? Those fonts are available from Font Bureau (scroll down to the bottom of this page – http://fontbureau.com/fonts/Interstate/styles).

On the Citibank web site I see both OCRK and regular Interstate. They must use the ’mono interstate’ in their print work.

Designers in NY have a low-costs healthcare plan available to them:

There is really no excuse for not having insurance when it’s this inexpensive.

Of course there’s also no excuse for not having national health insurance like every other civilized country...

Graphic artists in most US states may have access to reasonable healthcare.

Thanks William Berkson, OCRK is indeed the answer, and available from MyFonts!

Re health coverage, I’m deciding in the coming months whether to move from HIP Prime for $418 a month, with lower co-pays and lower prescription drugs rates through the mail, accessed by membership in a nonprofit association, New York Artist’s Equity, for $75/year membership, OR go through the anal-retentive hassles required by the Freelancers Union, including having two or more of your *clients* fill out forms...$287 a month, but with higher co-pays and higher drug costs, etc. The Freelancers Union is absurdly complicated in its requirements...you must *prove* that you are a freelancer...whereas nobody cares when you join a nonprofit trade association to get an HMO.

I didn’t find it difficult at all to join the Freelancers Union. I think they’re great to provide this service. My client was more than happy to fill out a brief form and I had the other documents on hand already. It doesn’t have to be two or more clients, where do you get that?

$130 is a nice savings per month unless you go to the doctor a lot which might drive up the cost in copays.

I’m paying only $185/month and also got the dental.

$418 vs $287?

A month?

Wow! I’m glad I moved back to Canada. Even here in “pay your own way” Alberta, we shell out $123 a month.

For two of us.

That includes things like drugs (there is a small co-pay, but we get $125/quarter back), ambulance, psychotherapy, physio, and a bunch of other stuff.

If we wanted the whole dental et al, we’d pay another $100 a month for both of us.

And folks wonder why I moved back to the Great White North....

L.

So the $123 a month just about balances out the check the government sends you each year for the oil profits? (In Ontario the health care costs are paid by employer, not employee.)

I lost a boyfriend once to the Canadian healthcare system.

But as I pointed out, Freelancers union offers healthcare for as cheap as $185/month.

“I lost a boyfriend once to the Canadian healthcare system.”

Does that mean he got poor medical care? I hope he is ok now?

No no, I meant he moved back there because of the healthcare (among other things).

He’s fine. Just not mine anymore.

Dan, we’ve only had one RalphBucks™ cheque (I wish we got ’em every year!). Some, but not all, employers here pay for some or all of healthcare premiums, but us self-employed types get caught in the middle.

OTOH, we don’t have provincial sales tax.... ;-)

(Local healthcare has its moments, however: recent headline here had a woman miscarrying in a waiting room in front of 40 people while she bled like a stuck pig. Oy.)
