> Apple Garamond, then Myriad

The key difference being that Garamond is a classic on its own, and Myriad is even the default font in Adobe products (at least InDesign).

Yeah, the various Garamond variants are classics (tracing their history all the way back to the 15th century!). Apple did commission a dedicated variant for themselves. Similarly, Apple used a Myriad variant, Myriad Apple. That said, my point wasn't that Apple only used Apple designed fonts (which isn't true), but that Apple has always focussed on design in general and typography in particular.

> A key difference with this last one is that it's used in both the UI and in marketing.

That's exactly what I was getting at, thanks!

Also on physical products as well
