Many designers like to use Arial and Helvetica in their designs. But do you know what are the real differences between Arial and Helvetica? I remembered I did talk about Helvetica on one of my posts before and mentioned about Arial is a very similar font to Helvetica, but Helvetica is somewhat more refined than Arial, even though each one has the same character width. One of the key differences is the strokes for each character. Helvetica uses primarily vertical or horizontal strokes, while Arial often uses diagonal strokes.
Above is a diagram showing the differences. Thanks to PULSE for the diagram!
