Helvetica

I honestly never thought that, that much thought went into a font. For some reason it never occurred to me that people create them; I have thought that they just simply exist without realizing that they were created by someone. It makes sense to me now. It's like, "Of course, someone made it!" People just don't think about fonts, they're just something that is in the computer. My generation has been spoiled when it comes to how accessible we are to things as simple as a font, and how it easy it is to manipulate fonts that already exist because of how technology has progressed over the years. I really find that fascinating; before it would take hours and hours on ends to create fonts with pencil and paper.
