    Helvetica is like Photoshop, universal, good or evil, as good as the person using it.

    I love it because it's versatile, has one million versions and fits in many situations. One of my favorite uses is the white sanitation trucks in NYC that have black helvetica "sanitation" on the site.

    I'm guessing what you hate is the helvetica black, kerned in on almost every zine in the last 3 years. Of course, that blows. People trying to make a name for themselives that way are much less schooled in design and typography than they imagine.
