One of the reasons that I love reading Kevin’s blog is that he’s an unabashed geek about certain things where there is no geek cachet to be had. He’s willing to point to a BBC article celebrating the 50th birthday of the Helvetica font.

While I prefer serif fonts, especially Georgia and Century Schoolbook, for printed documents I use sans serif fonts on this site because I think they are easier to read on screen. Helvetica is everywhere and where it’s not it’s brother, Arial, is on the scene.

If you’re a typeface geek the BBC article is excellent on the development of the typeface and its impact on the world. For everyone else, move on.
