  1. Garden Bench courtesy of Gerber Omega

    I was told that Gerber's fonts are actually URW fonts licensed decades back. URW has the same kerning tables and extended characters in their current font offerings, but the apps that are out are limited in the other options that don't rely on the font, like the text on curves and other...
