What’s funny is that while I know I’m definitely guilty of Helvetica abuse, I feel more obligation to delivering the best looking, most useable product I can to clients than I do to proving my uniqueness. Fact is, it’s a beautiful font that both designers and clients are drawn to. Why fight nature? Why?
(Not to be mean, but) if it were Swiss, the patented technology would individually kern the letters so that it wasn’t so painful for designers to look at! ;)
Swissmiss is an online garden Tina Roth Eisenberg started in 2005 and has lovingly tended to ever since.
Besides swissmiss, Tina founded and runs TeuxDeux, CreativeMornings and her Brooklyn based co-working community Friends Work Here. (She also started Tattly which was recently adopted by BIC)
