Did you even stop and think, man? Did you?
It's embarrassing. Look what you've done to me!

Looking at those spreads, you'd think 8vo designed this...
What is the big hub-bub? is it the line he's marketing it with (helvetica killer) or is it just too similar to Helvetica to be considered its own autonomous typeface?I remember the New Rail Alphabet - I used it in some ID/brand projects as a nice alternative to Helvetica - and although letter-for-letter the two faces were hard to distinguish, the gestalt of the type laid-out made a HUGE difference for me, at least...
