Mark Blamire from Blanka just released a new range of tee-shirt dedicated this time for the Helvetica 50th Anniversary. Each tee-shirt size is determinated by the font size and comes with free pin badges. Lovely !
Helvetica
Here is an article on Fontshop.com by Stephen Coles who explain how you can switch your lovely Helvetica font by others fonts.
Helvetica is a classic. Helvetica is played out. Each of these statements is true to an extent. The world’s most recognizable typeface will soon star in a new film that documents both its omnipresence and its timelessness.
There are many reasons why Helvetica is so widespread. The most obvious being that a few weights have been bundled with the Mac OS for years. It is arguably the most respectable of the “defaultâ€? fonts. But it’s also used because it’s a safe, neutral choice. For many purposes, typography is more about content than style. Fans of Beatrice Warde will tell you that typographers should communicate without distraction. Helvetica, with its simple, unadorned forms, is the perfect crystal goblet. Even its ubiquity contributes to its neutrality — letters so common they become invisible.
But invisibility isn’t always appropriate, particularly in advertising or branding where individuality is key. Here we recommend our favorite fonts from the grotesque genre that offer something different from Helvetica (or Arial) — whether it’s style, warmth, or extra features like small caps, figure alternates, and additional widths.
Famour designer Micheal C. Place will release very soon this poster. Everything is said.
Today’s regular calendars are useless. When you need to find a date or organize your schedule you check your iCal or Google’s calendar. SampsonMay offers a great alternative.
