Helvetica is a classic font. Overused, maybe, but there’s a reason for that: it pretty much goes with everything. You can almost say it’s the mayonnaise of fonts, because it goes with pretty much everything, and it’s a little bit generic. But hey, if you want to be sure that font is going to work, Helvetica is a good stand-by.
Which is why it should come as no surprise that some people are obsessed with the typeface. And if you’re obsessed about anything, you’re going to talk about it on Twitter. And that, my friends, is where we found some cool tweets about everyone’s favorite sans serif.
just read helvetica and damn i can feel my brain getting obsessed by the second but it’s SO SHORT i dont gave enough material to obsess over

If you have no intuitive sense of design, then call yourself an “information architect†and only use Helvetica. (David Carson)
