Can I find anything topical to mention that is to do with the font Allegro? I'm not sure what to make of the typeface itself; it seems to be neither one thing nor other. And what is the BT bit about? I'm sure there's a reason for it; a number of fonts have BT after them. [Edit]But - To Allegro. A car that has, in the past, been recognised as a symbol of a political stereotype or something. Like As, Bs, C1s C2s Ds and Es. Demographics are wonderful, aren't they? Like this story: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23411981-details/Forget+social+standing%2C+it%27s+postcodes+that+tell+big+business+who+we+are/article.do. I'm not convinced, but isn't it another wonderful example of PR pretending to be a news story? However, these stereotypes do get absorbed into everyday life. So, in the same way as we had "Loadsamoney!!!" in the 80s, White Van Man has taken up the mantle now. So much so that real studies have taken place: http://www.sirc.org/publik/white_van_man.html. I wonder who sponsored that research?
