After reading Wired's scoop, I understand Ruth Kedar used the Catull typeface to define the Google brand. Is Times-Roman font with serifs the same thing as Catull typeface? Would appreciate your clarification. I think these are two different fonts. Of course I could be wrong, not being a graphical artist expert. :-) Regards, Omar.- @Ashley:
