- simondotau 1y agoHelvetica is like vanilla. Often mischaracterised as plain and “default choice”, when done well it’s a distinct taste all of its own. In the hands of a master chef, it can be spectacular. But the majority of it is low effort and low quality.
- qu1j0t3 1y agoYeah basically true; it's described as "neutral" but it absolutely is not. I have to admit, though, the New Haas revival is so amazingly good that it makes me want to like Helvetica.
- bondarchuk 1y agoWould that be Neue Haas Unica?
