Helvetica vs. Arial. Death match.
Let's weigh in the contenders, shall we?
Helvetica:
Was developed in 1950s in Switzerland by Haas Foundry.
Is awesome.
Has become the deserved standard for modern, minimalist design.
Had an amazing documentary about it that I certainly did NOT tape off TV at great personal frustration. HA. HA HA. (twice)
Arial:
Is a flimsy knockoff made for cheap-ass Microsoft.
Only became the popular font it is today because it's bundled into every Microsoft product.
Generally sucks. Also, I hear it kicks puppies for fun. And controls the weather.
Let justice be done. Beat up Arial; long live Helvetica.
