I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
You know, I still like Hoefler & Co., but whatever fondness for Chronicle I had at an aesthetic level has mostly evaporated. Even the foundry itself doesn't seem to like it much anymore; they used to emphasize it more, to the point that an ampersand from the typeface was their favicon for the last couple of years that they were "Hoefler & Frere-Jones", but that's faded.
Surveyor does look a lot like a version of Chronicle with more character, even though that wasn't the intent...
It's not like Chronicle is completely without appeal to me; somehow, the Condensed and Compressed widths of its Display iteration appeal to me more than any other parts of the family.

Having a House Industries bike would be kinda cool, admittedly, but I don't have $5000 to drop on it.

Android 5.0 ships with a redesigned version of Roboto:
It still feels "off" in that way only Roboto can, but it's at least slightly less ugly now.
The link goes to a schematic for an early color TV, but I've seen that odd variant of Metro everywhere, from government forms to hub labels on 45s. I'd really love to know what its story is.
Yeah, Metro was one of several Futura knockoffs available around the same time. I'm not sure if Kabel was, but Twentieth Century and Tempo definitely were.

I really like Averia. It's an interesting concept, and one that worked out well--it looks like a Caslon!
