sometimes typing in "helvetiva PC" in google can do mysterious things =P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yep, worked just fine. I've got it now. Thankee. |
||||||||
|
|

|

theres also helvetica neue my fav, and helvetica rounded ;] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yay!...we got some font nerds here :)... You're probably sorted by now, but just for info, Arial (the standard windows one) is more or less identical to helvetica if you ever get really stuck... (hehe...I'm such a font snob I've deleted Comic Sans off my machine....why the fuck everyone at work likes sending emails using that font I'll never know...I don't think people realise exactly the effect a font can have on the character of a document; basically I can't treat things written in Comic Sans seriously...)... |

Helvetica Bold is kind of killing it at the moment... get in there quick before it's officially pronounced "rinsed" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what is that helvetica thing about? a simple font? why helvetica??? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It's so perfect and functional. Its used by transport companies etc... its kind of the ultimate minimal no frills font. But it's so nicely proportioned as well... I AM A NERD and a font trainspotter |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's pretty much already "rinsed" to my mind...but that whole Swiss style design look is so timeless & stylish if done right, it overcomes it's overuse really... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
glass...it's a sans serif font as well..(i.e. it hasn't got all those curves & widgits at the edge of letters like Times New Roman and the like...)...that makes em a lot easier on the eye when reading on-screen... Personally I hate most serif fonts ...too ornamental & flowery...Helvetica combines beauty and functionality better than most fonts - another reason it's a designer fave.... |

is my fave font-site...what's yours guys? |

True true... you know when channel 5 uses it it's time to move on... but nuthin else looks quite right. |

I like these 2 sites... ... .... and Microsoft have got some nice resouces at ... There's a great blog all about fonts but can't find my link at mo...will post again when I do... |
||||||||

|
|
arh fuck! thatnx for that microsoft-link...i have looked for a font like "nina" for ages |

i don't like helvetica... but i like arial. it only changes a little, but when it's enough for me to like or to dislike it. my favorite font of this kind remains akzidenz grotesk (and what a name!)... :) more stylish ones, like 'metaplus', are good too... and some of the borderline category between sans serif and decorative, like basenine/basetwelve... and DIN Mittelschrift, and some other fonts used in similar places (100% functional), i've seen and would love to have but don't even know the name... about 'comic sans'... i used to like it a little but i hate it printed. when used as a system font, then it looks really nice (just like 'skia') - but on printed documents it's not. 'treefrog', 'enya', or the 'childsplay' series, - now that's good handwriting fonts! (or 'salade de fruits', but that's now self-advertising ;)) |

Helvetica is the GREATEST. Arial's t and R are really crap compared with Helvetica's. Actually, I quite like Arial's R.. But the Helvetica is better. Helvetica is THE perfect font. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it may not have real imperfections, but it's quite an insipid font to me. |
||||||||

Her's my favs Serifs: Adobe Garamond and its italic and oldstyle figures Janson and its italic Sabon and its italic Baskerville and its very useful italic (good for "period" work) Classic Sans Serifs: Frutiger Univers Franklin Aksidenz Futura (especially nice as all-caps) Trendy but Useful Sans Serifs: Meta Rotis Scala Sans (has a quirky but nice italic) Trebuchet Fonts I Hate and Never Want to See Used (a very personal, biased list): Helvetica Sand Avant Garde Any typeface with "Swash" in its name Palatino Optima Times |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yeah, another akzidenz "fan"! ^^ i agree about sand, it's awful... and times too... i have nothing really against optima nor palatino though. my fav serif font is , it's kind of... baskerville 'remixed' by zuzana licko :) |

mrs eaves is nice looking I'll have to try using it in something, thanks! I love finding new fonts, it opens up your mind to new ideas. I'm a graphic artist so typography is a very important part of me. |

|
|
i've been trying to make fonts... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Really? How does one go about doing that?... what programs do you use once you have a rough idea? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
photoshop and fontographer... it's easy to make some kinds of decorative fonts, but i haven't ever managed to do a "classic" serif or sans serif one... i would need a much better resolution for that, more patience and above all MUCH better drawing skills! ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I see. cool thanks I might have try myself. |
||||||||
|
|

Helvetica is my favorite font of all time. Simple, clean, beautiful. I hate serif fonts, like times. Overused! |
