Currently IKEA uses it's own font (based off Helvetica it seems) that is not available online. The IKEA wordmark and logo will not change just the font used in the catalog, and any signs you see in- store.<br><br>I don't think anyone is happy about this, as you pointed out verdana is not meant for print and is a hot mess at larger point sizes, but it is what it is. The font can change, but the products are still great and that's what matters!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ikeafan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 31st 2009 12:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Ikea Changes Typeface, Upsets Fans]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/08/31/ikea-changes-typeface-upsets-fans/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/08/31/ikea-changes-typeface-upsets-fans/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ikea has fans?
