  • A lot of the text shown in this trailer are probably variants of Arial, not Helvetica...

  • Think so? Show me one!

  • I masturbate to helvetica

  • Helvetica and its bastard cousin Arial tells me lots of things; Times New Roman is when I get serious - especially when my attorney and me have to deal with it in a very legal orgy.

  • @servant1999 I know you left this comment 6 months ago, and you probably can't even remember watching this video. But I'd just like to point out that Microsoft didn't have any involvement in the design of Arial, in fact it was intended for IBM printers and was designed for improved legibility.

    I completely agree that Helvetica is the better typeface, it just angers me when people hate on Microsoft for copying it when they only picked Arial up because it read better on CRT monitors at the time.

  • Holy shit it's a fucking font. A boring fucking font that most people cannot distinguish from Times New Roman or any other Sans-serif. Fuck.
