Futura is more attractive than Verdana. The real problem here is that IKEA
switched to a M$ font. M$ a company that is not renown for really good
design.
Actually Verdana is one of two fonts that M$ had designed by Mathew Carter, who is renowned for really good design.
I like Verdana as my default font for email and browsers. If it was
weighted better, with better kerning and tracking, it would look better
in print. It's a decent font, but not as clean as Futura. I prefer ITC
Stone, which many would recognize in print, although they don't know the
name.
Did M$ PAY Carter for his design? They neglected to pay for some of the
early fonts that they used.
