Type Journal - Myriad

I found the packaging my macbook came with in my room and had thought what font was used for apples current packaging for MacBooks and iPods. I soon discovered that this sans serif font is Myriad, which is now synonymous with Apple as a brand, with its approachable tone and flexibility that has ensured its position as a modern classic. The characteristics are similar to fonts such as Frutiger and Bliss.
