Sorry I don't agree Drew. It's an inaccurate description of the situation, and I don't like the inference that your audience don't give a toss, I find that insulting. I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares about accurate communication.
In today's digital era, they're essentially used interchangeably. Font is the more instantly recognisable term, so I went with it. We'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
I confess I read that article/release only this morning and thought, all the way through it, “what a load of old bollocks” which was very quickly followed by “what difference does it make to the players, the performance, or the fans?”
Yeah, the font looks okay, but frankly, I don’t think most of us give a shit. We’d rather they spent the (I suspect not inconsiderable) money on something that improves the fans’ experience at The Cottage.
As you say Drew, 'audience' is the most revealing. Because in business and marketing parlance that makes us 'consumers', not fans. A worrying evolution. I do like the new font, for what it's worth.

You say you work in branding and you don't know the difference between 'font' and 'typeface'??? Unbelievable!!
I think when writing to an audience who broadly don't give a toss about either, Nev, it's probably OK to use them as synonyms.
You'll never sing in that font!
I like it, I wonder if they will release it to commons or keep it private?
More chance Bellingham following Alvaro to the Cottage I suspect!
