Have you ever thought about using fonts as a viral tool for marketing your new product? Well apparently in Belguim, Toyota did. They released a new car called Toyota iQ which is a compact car, hired a couple of designers to do the typeface and a pro racecar driver. Had the driver spin the car around in letter patterns.
Check out this video:

Well I like the idea, by me posting this vid and sharing it can become viral. Oh and get the free font here

The Toyota iQ is currently only available in Europe at this time.

Technorati site fonts

Is it me or is technorati.com‘s site fonts not a default on Windows? The fonts used on the body tag is Helvetica Neue. I googled it and its not free. If it is please send me a link to download

font : 12px/1.25 “Helvetica Neue”, Arial, sans-serif;

In Windows it looks off, I know you can disable the styles of a site through your browser preference but that is a general preference and disables all font styling on all sites accessed.

Site looks good though on Mac it has Helvetica Neue font pack by default.
