  1. #fonts are wrong on this new #branding - should be Rail Alphabet 2 with a #Helvetica style R - instead of some variant of #Arial

    Did no one check the #typography before they made these vinyls for the #train?

  9. DAE hate the #font #Calibri as much as I do? I prefer #Arial or even the more modern #Aptos. Calibri gives #ComicSans energy.

  10. What are your go-to neutral-ish sans serif fonts that *aren't* just clones of Helvetica? These eight are my favourites. I made a whole video about them and everything (with a tl;dr at the beginning).

  15. I have no idea why anyone would want to do this.

    1. Take a ubiquitous, shitty typeface.

    2. Select one of its many versions. (There’s more than one? Who knew?)

    3. Design a new typeface so similar to the first “that you can’t really spot a difference. Looking at Arial and Areal should feel like refreshing a browser page. It’s the same, but it isn’t.”

    Well, they succeeded on point 3.

    Arial is a knockoff of Helvetica. Areal is a knockoff of a knockoff. 🤷‍♂️

  19. I did lol at the #CSS #font rule for @nickheer’s PIxel Envy blog. Is “Literally Anything Else” (ahead of #Arial) a recommendation in the W3C standard? pxlnv.com/wordpress/wp-content

  31. Der Tag beginnt, und $Agentur schlägt mir #Helvetica für die Headlines und #Arial für den Mengentext in einem Newsletter vor, "um die Brand Message besser zu kommunizieren".

    Nebenbei bemerkt: Die Hausschrift von $Kunde ist eigentlich die #eurostyle

    Kann eigentlich nur besser werden.

  38. Live’n’learn!

    In good’ol times Arial/Helvetica/something similar was found on every OS.

    Not anymore! Test your -saturated website on a cheapo Android phone, and you might see a font that’s somewhat Arial/Helvetica-ish, but distinctly different-looking (for example Roboto).

    As it happened, the customer _specifically_ stated that Arial should be used – so I actually needed to install it on the site. Which feels a bit silly.

    So much hassle for such an ugly, cheap knockoff font.
