BloodyWishes Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/27/tech/web/helvetica-typographer-dies/index.html?hpt=hp_t3 I really do like Helvetica. Seems most writers do too, BNE MQ HAELER a lot of them use it in their stickers. Clean and classic. RIP this dude who helped it grow. It ain't a coffee machines or schizo versions of Dale Carnegie thread but thought a designer or two would find this of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyWishes Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I didn't know hipsters held Helvetica in a high light. Is that was they use on their blogs or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I'm also curious about the hipster comment... Is typography a hipster hobby or something? Rest In Power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finEyoungCamel!!! Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've seen/heard it used in reference to hipster shit a couple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Its the font of choice for thousands of companies. Thats on par with saying that cotton is a hipster material because American Apparel uses it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
injury Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 true. but i'd argue that AA's style of advertising (and style of clothing/lack thereof) drove the association, way more than other brands that use the same. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

injury Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Now it's time for Comic Sans to get the recognition it deserves. Misread this as "cosmic sans" and then tried to imagine what an intergalactic comic sans would be like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbydigital Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 RIP.. Helvetica Designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger, Helvetica’s design is based on that of Akzidenz Grotesk (1896), and classified as a Grotesque or Transitional san serif face. Originally it was called Neue Haas Grotesque; in 1960 it was revised and renamed Helvetica (Latin for Switzerland “Swiss”) romans called swiss people helvetii i learnt something new today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
