Arial or Helvetica?

>>257700
They are close enough that I don't think any normal person would give a shit.

>>257700
Helvetica. I like the lower-case a.

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

>120 years old.

>>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?

Those condesed texts are fucking orgasmic.

>>257707
I like bits and pieces from all of them. I want to combine all the ones I like. Is it possible in Fontographer?

>>257707
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.

>>257700
>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

>>258003
I can't stop vomiting at the thought of you actually doing that

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.

>>257704
FPBP

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.
