Trebuchet MS is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Vincent Connare for the Microsoft Corporation in 1996. It is named after the trebuchet, a medieval siege engine.Trebuchet MS distinguishes itself from other common sans-serif typefaces through several characteristics, the most notable of which include: * The splayed edges of the uppercase M which form a 10° angle with a vertical line, * The shape of the tail of the uppercase Q, * The bar of the capital A is low, * The shortened tails of the lowercase e and the numerals 6 and 9, * The hybrid open and looped tail of the lowercase g, * The rounded dots above and the shapes of the lowercase i and j, * The curved tail beneath the lowercase l, * The dollar sign symbol, in which the vertical strike only appears above the top and below the bottom curves of the S, * The ampersand in the form of an "Et" ligature and * The exclamation point, whose dot is large and round. * Italic fonts incorporate italic type characteristics instead of just tilting roman glyphs, making it the first sans serif font family from Microsoft to use true italic features.

I know that in the MS published game Age of Empires 2, Trebuchets kicked ass.

Not enough, apparently.

^^^Yes they did. My brother used to mispronounce the word trebuchet as "trench bucket" when reading the strategy guide for that game.
