Any guesses what font this is based on? It's widely used, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I'm stumped! I wanted to say Gill Sans or Optima, but it's neither. Anyway, I love the sample. It really shows the delicacy of the letterforms. Excellent work, aphoria.

Here's a hint: Windows Vista.

@SquarePeg

Thanks for the compliment!

Looks like Frutiger, probably condensed.

The only diference I find is in the bottom of the N.º "1", if it's Frutiger then it should't have a horizontal base.

Ach! Of course... Frutiger. Good call, jmarquez.

Nope, not Frutiger, although it is very similar.

Okay... I think I get your hints now...

Segoe UI?

[ Well I must say this Segoe UI looks to be another Frutiger rip-off like Vera sans and so on.]

It's a nice pixel version of it but the Uppercase "Q"'s bottom leg is curved in the original.

Hmmm, you're right about the Q. I'll fix that tomorrow.

Your link is too funny. I just read that a couple days ago when I was searching for some info about the name Segoe UI.

I've corrected the Q and the sample.
