| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Surprisingly Interesting, But a Flaw Overlooked |
| I really didn't think I'd watch this from beginning to end, but I did. I never really noticed Helvetica before -- it's just so conspicuous that it doesn't draw any attention to itself. However, Helvetica has a flaw. There is one letter in Helvetica that does not look natural. It's the letter "c"/"C". There isn't enough space in between the top and bottom ends of the "c". It almost looks like an "o". Look at the standard green highway exit signs, and you'll notice a font that is similar to Helvetica, but the "c"'s look more natural. They aren't near-"o"'s but look like the sort of "c" you would actually try to handwrite. I've never seen anyone handwrite a Helvetica-looking "c" with the ends of the "c" nearly pointing straight up and down. Helvetica has a problem, and so does this documentary for not exposing/taking the font creators to task for their inelegant work on the letter "c".
