Arial & Helvetica, by ragbag:


on friday, i hosted a screening of helvetica for some buddies of mine that didn’t know that there were other typefaces besides times new roman. it turns out, there ARE other typefaces and one of them is helvetica (and another of them is papyrus.)
the documentary does not explore the relationship between helvetica and microsoft’s derivative, arial. so to help ignite the post-viewing dialogue, i made this supplement illustrating the key differences in letterforms. however, in place of any spirited debate, my buddies decided instead to take turns delivering roundhouses to my jaw, saying “a documentary about a font is as interesting as it sounds.” i could not agree more.

その昔、お茶の間を笑いの渦へと誘っていたバラエティ番組「風雲!たけし城」。この番組が、バグダッドのローカルテレビで再放映され、新たなブームを呼び、あまりの馬鹿馬鹿しい内容にか、「日本人はこんなに人生を楽しんでいるのに、俺たちは殺し合いばかり。
いいかげんにやめようぜ」などの声が上がっていたそうだ。
