@faux_icing Is there a problem with this page? To me it looks like some CSS is missing.

@faux_icing Thanks for this! A couple of small things

1. All the links are weird google.com redirect notices

2. Netflix Sans was made before Gotham was sold to Monotype. IIRC, one of the very first articles announcing Netflix Sans had a quote (maybe from a DaMa employee/contractor) saying Gotham licensing was in the millions, and unsustainable. It was retracted quickly, and there was a scuffle on Twitter with Hoefler proclaiming “millions” wasn’t true at all. Maybe it’s all archived somewhere…

@faux_icing I thought Spotify used Circular from Lineto primarily? Or did they also use Gotham on parts of their site (they used it in their logo for sure)?
