  1. I’ve been saying Apple’s 2015 typeface San Francisco (fontsinuse.com/typefaces/39620) should have been called something else to avoid usurping the 1984 Susan Kare classic (fontsinuse.com/typefaces/31774).

    Like maybe “Cupertino”.

    But it turns out that was already taken in 1984 by a bitmap copy of Motter Tektura (fontsinuse.com/typefaces/10214)
