Arial vs. Helvetica

I’ll never forget the quiet afternoon in the office when one of our RISD interns, reading a design magazine, suddenly shouted out “I can’t believe it! These people think Arial is a good typeface!”

I got 19 out of 20. MATTEL was the tough one for me.

got 19 out of 20. Only Mattel was wrong.
Otherwise it is really easy to tell difference between helvetica and arial.
