Hi,

I know this is not a question related to Adobe or font technology, but I
think it's interesting. I'm wondering what the distinctive features of Dutch
typefaces are. I'm thinking of Scala, Quadraat, Thesis, Lexicon, Swift and
Gulliver -- they all look somewhat similar, but I couldn't find out yet what
makes them 'Dutch'. What do you think about it?

Cheers, Thomas

P.S.: Does anyone know the type foundry that distributes Gulliver. I haven't
found one yet.
