Member Rya… Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I still can't believe Arial is supposed to be analogous to Helvetica. They're almost complete different if you ask me. Link to comment
Member McB… Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I only really noticed the differences when someone enlarged the letters and then overlaid them one on top of the other, then it was astonishingly obvious. Where I work has both fonts but people seem to interchange them without any thought and it winds me up. Link to comment
Member Rya… Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Arial is so much colder and more sterile. That's not always a bad thing, depending on what project you're working on. Link to comment
Member qua… Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 As I learned from another thread on this forum, Arial was designed to have the same metrics as Helvetica, but the face itself was derived by Monotype from Monotype Grotesque. Link to comment
Member tim… Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I wonder what will happen to Gill’s Ariel when Bush House changes hands. Tim Link to comment
