HELVETICA

Boring curves and lines
Beauty depends on designs
Clients buy or bye

Which of these came first:
The Super- or the Sub- Script?
Both are very small.

O Helvetica!
Standard issue sans serif
A timeless classic.

Apple System Font
You conflict with my PostScript!

System Font Conflict?
It’s dueling Helveticas

I’m not eligible either, but here’s one for fun:

Smirking curves all over
Indicates I’m not a pro
Comic Sans begone!
on 15 Mar 2007 at 2:59 pm Richard Bamford

Metalic type cast
Precision in formed shapes
In molten state

Hot metal old Times
Cross the T’s and dot the I’s
Simple with Fusion.

Hot seat now in type
To ensure every font right
Last word not missing!

Editor panics:
“Keep Helvetica styles!”
Cool head saves much more

Helvetica bold,
Helvetica semi bold
I can now decide!

OK so I know I’m not eligible either but this is fun!

My Typographic History (in haikus)

My EditWriter
had clear font sheets set on drums
and a floppy disk

From WordStar we wrote
transferred stories by cable
CompuGraphic nights.

Developed in darkrooms,
waxed slick, paste on galleys
correct typos, X-Acto

PageMaker arrived
and the PostScript era dawned
Palatino rocked.

Now there’s InDesign
and a hard disk full of fonts
Hoefler, ITC

No photocopied
fonts from the Letraset book
blown up optically

Design is eternal,
serif sans italic glee,
client wants it now.

O Helvetica!
Your poster seems so lonely,
lacks lowercase “g”.

Strong intrinsically.
Apex of simplicity.
Copied frequently.
