What’s Next? Helvetica Skywriting?
Just in case you are not quite sick of seeing Helvetica, now you can eat it. That’s right, Helvetica cookie cutters.
Now don’t get me wrong, I think the idea of Typography cookie cutters is pretty cool. “Mom, can you pass me the milk? I need to eat my capital T.”
But Helvetica? I guess it’s like Dr Pepper: you either love it or hate it.
It could be worse, I suppose. They could have made Comic Sans cookie cutters.

Well, depends of course on the project, but are familiar with Mrs Eaves? They just released a san-serif version called Mr. Eaves (brilliant, I know) that I really like and use quite often. Its x-height is smaller and has a certain elegance to it. You can view it here: http://www.emigre.com/EFfeature.php?di=213
You?
HATER!
I don’t use helvetica much in design…so for conversation sake – between 2 designers, what do you like for an “instead of” typeset?
