I quite like Helvetica Neue, it just "suits my eyes" and the shapes and proportions feel so natural to me. Your rant about Arial made me curious how it came about. Ah, right, Helvetica Neue has been used for iOS and macOS for a number of years. That makes sense why it feels so familiar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica#Neue_Helvetica_(1983) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica#Neue_Helvetica_(1983... --- As for Arial, I found its history on the same page, as a Helvetica clone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica#Arial_and_MS_Sans_Serif https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica#Arial_and_MS_Sans_Se... In particular, a visual comparison of a few letters with Helvetica: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica#/media/File:Helvetica,_Arial,_MS_Sans,_Bitstream_Vera_comparison.png https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helvetica#/media/File:Helvetic... Yes, I see what you mean about the flourish on R. Same with G, and the tail on "a". I agree that Arial is inferior for pretty much every letter in the comparison. --- Apple recently replaced Helvetica Neue with San Fransisco (the name is confusing to me, because they had a font of the same name years ago).

I was curious if you had any opinion on the San Fransisco font?
