Helvetica. I like the lower-case a.

Fuck that modern rubbish Akzidene-Grotesk is what you want.

>>257706
but the lower case t in Arial is far better
>>
>>257717
Bullshit. The descender of the lower case T extends too far out.
>>
>>257726
do you not see the top of it????? that alone is enough to prove that Arial > Helvetica

Akzidenz Grotesk Next is where it's at. More uniform and clean.
>>
>>257731
That slanted shit is offensive. Your opinion is factually wrong, and you should feel bad.
>>
>>257755
this.

Arial's fatal flaw is the upper-case R.
>>
>>257755
How close do want your r to your t?

Now I want a fucking hamburger.

That Akzidenz Gotesk Next is lookin' pretty rad though.
>>
>>257700
I personally find Arial easier to read, but nobody gives a shit about what I think.
>>
>>257700
As a American I use Arial over the kraut's Helvetia.
But then I'm one of those rare few with a BA that love his country.

>Arial's fatal flaw is the upper-case R.

also c, s, and miniscule t, as originally horizontal cuts are slanted, causing retarded look.

>uses Arial to write the name of Helvetica
Terrible troll.

Also Arial because ‘a’ and ‘123’.

>>257761
True though.
>>
>>257717
>>257726
i like the "q" and the "H" in arial better
>>
>>259988
Lol 'helvetica' is set in helvetica and 'arial' in arial. see the terminals
>>
>>259988
did you notice that he swapped the fonts?
Arial is helvetica and vice versa on his picture

Only Germans and Poles have been using them specifically in the second circumbellum (1930–1955) for “Bekanntmachungen / Obwieszczenia” about planned round-ups and pogroms.

Enjoy.

>>259995
True... ‘t’ in that title is Helvetica. But the ‘a’ in your ‘Helvetica’ title is Arial.
*baffled*

>>259996
That’s 2spooky4me.
>>
are you guys retarded?
"helvetica" is set in helvetica and "arial" is set in arial, together with its respective character sets
>>
>>257700
It's highly arbitrary.

OP If you're seriously considering between these two fonts, then your design is going to suck anyways. Might as well kill yourself or start over.
