  I'm tired of all the Helvetica Hype. Here's a sticker to cut out and share with your Helvetica-hating friends.

  Michael C. Place is going to be very upset with you. And, seriously, Cooper? Fuck.

  Calling it a hype just shows your ignorance.

  Helvetica...Hyped since '57? That is a seriously sustained period of hype. It is a vast right wing conspiracy.

  Is Cooper Black in rainbow your answer to the most versatile typeface of all time? Maybe try that again.

  I think you need to try again with your helvetica tirade. Here's a suggestion. Picture of Adrian Frutiger sticking his tongue out at Max Miedinger with the caption "Maxy, you my bitch!". That is a far more intelligent response. It implies the superiority of typefaces like avenir and univers over helvetica. That is a sticker I would agree with.
  I say again...Cooper? Fuck.

  good stuff. my thought was to create something that had an opposite feel to Helvetica's coldness.

  I have to support Rabattski's thought.
  So here it is again :
  "Calling it a hype just shows your ignorance."
