 You vs. Helvetica vs. Arial
You vs. Helvetica vs. Arial
It seems to be the consensus that Arial is a substandard alternative to Helvetica. But just how bad is it? What if the logos we’re used to seeing in Helvetica were redone in Arial? Would you even notice if the next time you saw the American Airlines logo it was redone in Arial? Here it is in both fonts. At a glance, can you tell which is which?

20/20!

Some of those were a bit difficult.

I think Post-it, Target, 3M, and The North Face look awful in Arial.

I got lazy when I realized there was a pattern and stopped actually looking for the differences...until the pattern broke. Whoops.

It is easier to spot the difference if you look at common letters, like the lower-case 't'

Helvetica's lower-case 't' features a flat top
Arial's lower-case 't' features a slanted top

Same for the other letters: Look at the lower-case 'e', upper-case 'C', upper-case 'R' and just over all, Helvetica is a much bolder font, like the letters look meatier than Arial...

Oh and I got 20/20

Easy to make the difference between those two :



Then, by making this test, you realize it's useless to pay for Helvetica.

But Hipsters are so dedicated to Helvetica...

I just don't get the fuss about fonts. 99% of people wouldn't notice the difference between the two unless they were told there was a difference and 99.9% of people could care less anyway.

Regardless of whether you can tell the difference, I still think Helvetica has a very subtle appeal to the eye.
