Helvetica vs. Arial. Two of the world’s most popular typefaces battle it out for supremacy.

Much more fun than I should be having at work.

Battle of the Fonts.

Oh, there's no need for a battle. We already know that Arial is crap.

Foolish typefaces -- Palatino reigns supreme. Serifs forever!

are you trying to get me fired? Its bad enough I read your site at work, now you're giving me entertaining diversions?
