The Canadian National Tower

Daryl writes:

The Canadian National Tower, or CN Tower, stands prominent on the Toronto skyline. Opened to the public on June 26, 1976, it is the tallest free-standing structure in the world and is quite a tourist attraction.

I went recently and I can tell you personally that the views are spectacular, although the admission price of $20 is a bit steep. On a clear day they say you can see 160 kilometers in every direction but don’t ask me to do the translation from the metric system. If you plan on dining in the revolving restaurant, which is an expensive proposition, they won’t charge you the entry fee. One of the observation decks has a glass floor, and with a view straight down almost 500 meters the view is almost dizzying.

If you plan on visiting Toronto I highly recommend you check out the CN Tower. You can see almost the entire city from the top, as well as a beautiful view of the nearby lake. Definitely a breathtaking view.

Swiss Helvetica Font Is 50 Years Old

The very popular font used by many major companies is 50 years old.

?Gap, Orange, Currys, Hoover, Lufthansa, Panasonic, Royal Bank of Scotland, Tupperware, Zanussi. The list of brands that use the Swiss typeface – celebrating its 50th anniversary this year – would fill this page.

“It’s durable. It comes from natural design forms. It doesn’t have an expression of fashion. It has very clear lines and characters, it looks like a very serious typeface,” says Frank Wildenberg, managing director of Linotype, the German firm that owns the font.
