The font used for the C5 release number is Denmark, though. So if you're working on artwork for C7 I suggest you just use Denmark, the 7 is quite nice :)
Well, this seems to be not an ordinary decision for anyone to take. The typography used in The CentOS Brand (release number included) affects The CentOS Project visual identity and I guess only The CentOS Project leaders can take a definitive decisions to this respect.
Consider someone working on public design models that anyone can use to massively help The CentOS Project in the process of branding images with customized artistic motifs. Some of the images produced this way (e.g., installation media) require the CentOS release number in them. It would be a wrong direction to use one typography in public design models and other different in prominent parts of The CentOS Project (e.g,. it contradicts the idea of visual consistency we are trying to achieve).
So we, as community, need to coordinate what typography we are going to use in further releases of CentOS so as to strictly preserve the visual consistency of the final images the community can produce. And, to grant this, it is absolutely necessary to make public the typography we use in all cases.
Thank you, al.
