It all started when I commented on a colleague's desk top wallpaper. It mentioned the word Helvetica (my most favorite font and, on a side note, the subject of a very good documentary).

My coworker sent me the website and I nearly flipped my lid. A wonderful world of type, images, and graphics. Veer ROCKS. If you want to get lost in a technicolor coma, this is the place for you.

I love Veer! I actually know someone (well, friend of an ex-girlfriend) who has her work up there. It's been a source of many a cool desktop wallpaper for me for years.

Oh, and it's funny that you mention Helvetica, because not half-an-hour ago I saw this in a magazine I was reading...

Niklaus Troxler's piece for the 50 Years of Helvetica exhibit at the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich.

Wow. Very interesting! My only questions--why all the Helvetica haters? Is it really that bad of a font?

So dramatic! Hehehe... and I know you have. I can't look at that font anymore and not think of Dead to Rights.

As far as 'dirty' fonts go, I'm really into this new one called

.

I'm not sure if I have a favorite font. I kinda like the simple beauty of Arial, in all it's forms -- I tend to use it a lot. And also Old Republic, I think is a great, clean font.

But no, there's nothing wrong with Helvetica; that shit is the yardstick.
