The core issue here is you want to make this about me. It isn't. You don't know the first thing about what I do and don't know. Well, you seem to think that basing a font on another is a ripoff, and that's the bit on which the parent poster is basing his assertion. Many of us feel it is not a ripoff. Helvetica, however popular, was not the first of its kind, and most average people wouldn't be able to tell it from Akzidenz-Grotesk, created some 60 years earlier. Almost every major foundry has a Helvetica clone. If this is a big deal, it was a big deal before the relatively minor addition of Roboto.
