		Even when Helvetica went out of fashion, it was so widely available from printers and typesetters that it retained its popularity.
		Then in the 1980s Helvetica was the sans serif bundled with laser printers, which guaranteed its early availability when the desktop publishing explosion occurred in the latter part of the decade.

	The Scourge of Arial
		With its friendly, cheerful appearance and clean lines, it was universally embraced for a time by both the corporate and design worlds as a nearly perfect typeface to be used for anything and everything.
		Because it matched Helvetica's proportions, it was possible to automatically substitute Arial when Helvetica was specified in a document printed on a PostScript clone output device.
		The situation today is that Arial has displaced Helvetica as the standard font in practically everything done by nonprofessionals in print, on television, and on the Web, where it's become a standard font, mostly because of Microsoft bundling it with everything—even for Macs, which already come with Helvetica.

	Typotheque: Helvetica: Homage to a Typeface, review by Andy Crewdson
		Applying these notions to Helvetica, the book would conclude that the typeface is intrinsically unremarkable, and that it probably owes its renown to good timing compounded by the tendency of some to ascribe false qualities – false ideals, even – to typefaces.
		More likely is that Helvetica appeared at the right time, was marketed effectively, became fashionable, was widely copied and adapted by various typesetting equipment manufacturers, and because of the ubiquity it acquired, fell into the role of the western world’s default sanserif.
		When the original Helvetica typeface was adapted in the 1960s and ‘70s for use on typesetting machines and for rub-down, stencil, and sign lettering, it must have been subject to a range of distortions.

		The "G" in Helvetica has a spur at the bottom of the stem on the right side and the curve at the bottom of the "G" flows into the stem; in Arial and Grotesque the "G" has no spur and the curve at the bottom meets the stem at an angle.
		It appears to be a compromise between the Helvetica "R" and the Grotesque "R." This feature is very unusual for a "grotesque" design, and is more typical of "humanist" sans serifs.
		In both fonts, the characteristics described here apply to all weights (except, of course, the tail on the Helvetica "a," which is dropped on the bolder weights).

		I've slowly been going through the Helvetica book and tearing the edges of the pages.
		In typical Microsoft fashion, the hard serif of the lower case "a" in Helvetica has been softened - seems like they want to take the edge off of just about everything, the bastards.
		The pages are arranged in a semi-accordion style at their edges, so that each page is perforated at its' outer edge, which means that in order to get to the inner pages, you have to rip the pages apart.
