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.
\nWhich 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.<\/p>\n
