Go Helvetica!

I wanted to feature some funny Helvetica-exalting things I've seen around lately. I found them on Designspiration which is very hit or miss in terms of appropriateness [translation: you probably don't want to scroll through all their archives]. But these Helvetica items were quite amusing.

This poster speaks to the power of Helvetica on its own. You probably think I'm insane, but I completely agree with the message of this poster. There's something to seeing Helvetica laid out on a page that is very pleasing and wonderful.

And these two posters sing the praises of Helvetica while simultaneously bashing some less stellar typefaces. I love it! The rainbow backgrounds are also really cool.

What do you think of these things? Cool, or ridiculously nerdy? (Or both?)

That's pretty funny...personally I can't tell the difference between Helvetica and Myriad Web Pro, but then there are some people who can't tell the difference between American Cocker Spaniels and English ones. We all have our passions :D
