I'm ashamed for the mis-ID. And to think I get on the case of anyone as careless. Awful. Thank you for the correction, Nico. May we look forward to seeing it at Lineto? Ouch.

The font used in the <em>Annual Design Review 04</em> issue of I.D. magazine was not 'Ballpark Script', but rather a yet unnamed, rough script font beta version based on original wood blocks (currently not commercially available yet) which in my opinion has a slightly more decorative, elegant and relaxed feel than 'Ballpark/Pilsner'.

I was worried that they had added or updated the typeface, but they haven't. So if anyone else thinks they need to re-license or ask for an update they don't.
