Except, for some reason, the capital R in Helvetica, which is a very curvy letter.

  But the R only curves so that its leg meets the base at a logical angle. Arial's straight leg looks straighter, but if you isolate it as a piece itself then that straight part cuts off at a diagonal angle to maintain the flat bottom.

    Oh, wow, interesting; I hadn't thought about it that way. (The R does still have a little serif though, which always bothers me.)
