![The Tell-Tale R
We all know the story—Arial is the sloppy man’s Hevletica. And nowhere is this more evident than the capital R.
Helvetica’s gracefully curving leg paradoxically makes the glyph more balanced in the rectangular spacing it fills. Arial’s leg is more a flaccid dong, tacked on as a sloppy afterthought.
Every time I see the big Arial R on a display—especially for a fashion boutique—I cringe a little. It’s a merciless imp, making the world less awesome. Wear the shirt and spread the word.
