Font Fight: Helvetica vs. Arial
by jeff
Another brilliant font spoof by College Humor. This time, Helvetica and her gang go toe-to-toe (or would that be serif-to-serif) with Arial and her gang. “Arial!! I haven’t seen you since you cloned me and stole my identity!”
My favorite line: “Double-space men! Increase your margins! That way they’ll think there are more of us than there really are!”
In case you missed it, be sure to check out the Font Conference. At least now we know where Papyrus was hiding out…
No, it wouldn’t be “serif-to-serif.” These are sans-serif fonts.
Sorry Eric, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Poor Richard, Playbill, American Typewriter, Princetown LET, Party LET and Vivaldi are all serif fonts. The vast majority of the fonts are serif, with only Arial, Helvetica and one or two others being sans-serif.
