Can anyone tell me what the font is that Apple uses for its ads/website? As well, is there anyway to get a hold of it?

Thanks

From the Myriad family. The above in black type is regular Myriad, the below is pulled directly off of Apples front page promotion for the iPod's.

No, Apple. Adobe Myriad is not the same.

Thank you for the link. I have a like-hate relationship with Wikipedia, and while I like this article, I know not to trust any Wiki I read. Non-controversial content should be relatively trustworthy, but even then one has to remember the dubious source from whence it came.

No, Apple Garamond was based on ITC Garamond. Adobe Garamond is something different altogether.
Hi. Nice to see you. You look lovely.

Yeah, but letting people do their own Googling suits me better - I'm not the one looking for the font.
