App Store Description

Helvetica vs. Arial is a fun and simple app for designers by designers. It tests and teaches your eye for the typographic details of the two most used typefaces in the world: Helvetica and Arial.

The former, designed by Max Meidinger in 1952, fundamentally changed graphic design and propelled it into it's modern age. Helvetica and its permutations, are still popular and used by today's contemporary designers. Arial, on the other hand, is a knock-off, developed by Microsoft in order to avoid licensing fees. It's considered far inferior by typographers and graphic designers and wouldn't be used by either. Due to the wide spread of Microsoft Windows, Arial is one of the most used typefaces in the world.
