This thread reminds me of how ugly I find the font steve uses for his "Demo" slide. Its hideous. 🙄

Yes, they did. It was made for Apple by Galápagos Design.

Myriad Set is a newer reworking of Myriad Apple/Pro, that can take advantage of OpenType gimmicks.

Yes, Apple used to use a custom narrow variation of Adobe Garamond.
