Out of the many examples of the Helvetica typeface to choose from, I chose the cover of my Geology textbook as an example. The title, Essentials of Geology, rests along the rocks in capital letters with a high x-height. “Geology” … Continue reading

For my example of a common use of Helvetica, I have chosen the Scotch brand logo. This logo is simple, clean, and utilizes many of Helvetica’s strengths very well. The text and logo are not disrupted by any other texts … Continue reading
