"It's a horrible wimpy little font, redolent of false modesty. It's a Uriah
Heep of a font, wringing its sweaty little paws....."
Oh no, grasshopper, it's far worse than that!!!
It was a little better when it was called Helvetica, though - because even
saying that, under your breath or aloud, sounded like a curate swearing!
It's blandness and plain boringness suits Bill Gates, tho, - who, it seems,
can't let a computer programme loose without it!
But, when I look at it (as I have to do sometimes...) it reminds me of Tony
Blair as much as anyone else (no depth, no sense of what matters in a script
except neat presentation, and dullness).
My favourite font for poetry? Charter!
Bob
