The most offensively poorly-engineered page I've been to in years, all to promote Arial...Sorry, our totally original grotesque font inspired by Helvetica, don't steal!.
What is IBM even doing that's worthwhile?
- rspeer 9y agoThe page is definitely poorly engineered, but the font looks nothing like Arial or Helvetica.
- Semiapies 9y agoIt's poorly engineered enough to keep you from getting to the part where they talk about Plex as a Helvetica alternative. :) The Arial connection is that Arial has the same origin as a Helvetica alternative. It even shares similar differences to Helvetica, such as the construction of "C".
