debate topic

The font known as Helvetica is either:

a) responsible for both the Vietnam and Iraq wars

or

b) so divine that it makes you think all your problems will be resolved... or maybe they never existed

Discuss amongst yourselves.

I vote (b). It's nice. But, if left up to me, I prefer all my fonts sans serif. What does that say about me?

i don't know what it says, but i agree. i am not a fan of serifs. what is the plural of serif?

Could it be both A & B?... could typeface start a war... I don't know, but love has so why not a font.

Carrie, it means you're a modernist.

Even if Helvetica did start wars, at least it is so calming we can forget they even are happening, right?
