I prefer the look of the Luz font - line thickness and kerning just seem
balanced somehow, similar to Futura. I agree that I don't like the angle
bracket in Luz compared to Futura or even Radis Sans. Radis Sans has nice form
to me as well, however, this runs in to the same issues as Comic Sans - "But
then there are the hideous, the bizarre, the unreadable and the offensive
(whether due to unintended double entendres or Comic Sans)" from the previous
link regarding logos. I also prefer the "standard" version versus the modified
versions. If this is for the logo, do we have to use only a single font type -
i.e. to stay open could we not use the pdl from Luz Sans and the angle bracket
from Radis Sans if the intention is to convert to vector form?

Swords! Swords! Swords!
Now, really, I will be happy to use Luz if that's what others like. I have it
installed and that's what matters most to me.
Btw, I tried to draw a "pd" using the "infinity" symbol. The result is a little
strange. It's on the fonts page now. I don't actually like it, but I thought it
was interesting.
