Arial & Helvetica Duel

Even though these two typefaces are nearly identical at a glance, I just feel like Helvetica has that ‘lil extra Swiss sexiness. Maybe it’s because Helvetica was made with grand intentions of a universal font by brooding and methodical modernists rather than some East Coast computer programmers. Maybe in 50 years people will be making documentaries about Arial.


PS that Helvetica documentary is AWESOME! Found on You Might Like This
