Ay caramba!?! What a shoddy job they did on the kern­ing of that cus­tomised ver­sion! It’s incon­sis­tent as heck!

It’s not the kern­ing Yves, which is largely the same as in Neo Sans. I think the graphic designer must have used track­ing to try and accom­mo­date the runner and ended up spac­ing the let­ters him­self to get them to fit across the image.

Hello Sebas­t­ian! Thanks for vis­it­ing. The biggest prob­lem with this image is the ‘Ye’ pair which is far too loose. Here’s your kern­ing. Per­haps they found yours too tight and over­com­pen­sated. A lot.

Nev­er­the­less, the new fonts look great on their site. Con­grats on Neo’s suc­cess.

Thanks Stephen!

Stephen, thanks for this. I took a look at the new Brand iden­tity PDF. The logo looks quite a bit better than the gifs I was seeing, but the e still looks not right to my eyes. I am not a huge swoosh fan at all. The prod­uct line badges and all are a real improve­ment to my eye. I do like Neo Sans and it seems appro­pri­ate for the appli­ca­tion. Con­grat­u­la­tions Sebas­t­ian on Neo in the big-​time.

Looks like there is another large tech com­pany using the Neo fonts as well. Expe­di­ent Com­mu­ni­ca­tions started using it the first of the year.
