BTW ladies,as a gentleman remember to check your breast because breast cancer ain’t good! breast not only giving pleasures to males, but also part of your body and health too! (don’t get me wrong, it’s a fact, maybe.) XD

Hmm:

First off: Univers is one of a group of neo-grotesque sans-serif typefaces, all released in 1957, that includes Folio and Neue Haas Grotesk (later renamed Helvetica). These three faces are sometimes confused with each other, because each is based on the 1898 typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk. These typefaces figure prominently in the Swiss Style of graphic design.

Currently, the Univers type family consists of 44 faces, with 16 uniquely numbered weight, width, position combinations. 20 fonts have oblique positions. 8 fonts support Central European character set. 8 support Cyrillic character set.

The Montreal Metro, San Francisco BART, Frankfurt airport and the Walt Disney World road system make extensive use of this typeface. Some but not all London boroughs use Univers Bold Condensed for street signs. Rand McNally once used Univers on their maps and atlases from the 1970s to 2004 when they adopted use of Frutiger.

Now, after reading the third paragraph, I guess a Breast Cancer Awareness poster could be equated w/street signs and atlases if only because in theory, people read pay attention to them. Of course, the idea of 'neo-grotesque' is rather offensive.

And, guys, get your minds out of the gutter (or out of Playboy or whatever the current incarnation of that is). btw, if all you can come up w/is 'B', you are leading a very sheltered life.
