- "Architect" is probably a clone of the Adobe typeface called "Tekton".
-
- I have seen the "Architect" font in use on a Mac, but I did not look closely
- enough to see if it was an exact copy or if the designer modified the original
- design in producing the copy.
-
- Adobe's Tekton is not a public-domain font. It is in Type-1 format (or
- "PostScript" format) and is available from Adobe Systems. Call 1-800-83-FONTS
- for ordering information.
