The g looks like "Trebuchet MS" ugh. A traditional g would've been awesome.


Fira is based on FF Meta, by Spiekermann. Trebuchet is an imitation of FF Meta.

Overall I find it very reminiscent of Trebuchet, but I happen to like both fonts.


Also, the l and the g are similar to Trebuchet too.

For me I wish more fonts made a clear distinction between 0 (number) and O (Letter), I, l, and 1, 5's and S's, and B and 8. Instead it seems to always be about a's and g's.
