Here's another font somewhat similar to the original: Benton Sans

Haven't tried it out other than just some sample text on the site, but just thought I'd put it here for reference.

If anyone with an eye for unnecessary detail wants to help me out, I have to samples:

Sample A:

Sample B:

(filename: mtCeu.png)

If anyone wants to download these to their computer and toggle between the two and let me know which row you like the best (or least) in each sample, that would be very helpful.

The shaping of the "g" is a little different in each row. So while I would like opinions on the "g", I'm trying not to focus on which individual "g" looks better or worse. I'm mostly looking for which one sits the best with the rest of the characters, which looks like it belongs with the rest. Basically, if any of them look "off". Or feel free to let me know if you just can't tell a difference.

Also, just any general feedback on the consistency and shapes of any of the letters. If any individual letter looks to bold, too thin, too big, too small, too wide, etc. in comparison to the rest in the sentence.

For me, I've found that zooming out or viewing them at half size gives a better overview of the sentence, so you're not focusing on a specific letter. But everyone's eyes are different!

Thanks anyone who is willing to do this!
