More on the ubiquitous voices in media (I’ll stop sometime)
Do you watch Frontline? You should, by the way. Best news-magazine style show on TV. Frontline retains a certain air of sober integrity amongst the crop of glitzy, ratings-hungry news-magazines one finds on network television. Anyway, much as there is a signature vocal manner associated with the marketing of films (embodied by these guys) Frontline, since I began watching it some years ago, has been graced with the commanding vocal imprint of one Will Lyman…and so has BMW.
This isn’t breaking news (this article bemoaning this association is from ‘05 after all) but as I have been thinking, lately, about signature voices in the media Mr. Lyman was bound to crop up.
Frontline is an incomparable, top-notch news-magazine program. I continue to watch it whenever I can. It’s hard, now, though, to get “The Ultimate Driving Machine” out of my head when I do.

You don’t necessarily need to be a font nerd to enjoy this little video gem (from Goodie Bag.tv) but it will probably help. The pervasive nature of the font in question will be obvious to anyone and the video is skillfully assembled.Via Daring Fireball.
