Except for the ”H”, none of them are particularly similar to Whitney. It would have been more interesting to compare the glyphs to Source Sans. Its ”g” is basically identical to this one. EDIT: I crea…

On topic, this excellent video essay (?) that’s been making the rounds recently[1]. Highly recommended. 1: ”For-Profit (Creative) Software” by EndVertex https://youtu.be/I4mdMMu-3fc …

For people outside the US: would you travel to the US now? What if your employer asked you to do it - what would you say? How do you feel about conferences and events held in the US?
