1, Helvetica

Helvetica is a widely used western writing body designed by Swiss font designer Edward Hoffman (Eduard Hoffmann) and Max Mieding (Max miedinger) in 1957. Helvetica was made by Mieding and Edward Hoffman in the Swiss Haas Foundry as a typographic-shaped metal. People were familiar with the "International Font Style" (also known as "Swiss Style"), such as Josef Muller-brockmann in 1896 to promote the Akzidenz Grotesk such sans serif fonts, Haas hopes to design a new line of sans serif fonts to compete with Akzidenz Grotesk in the Swiss market. The original name was "Neue Haas Grotesk", meaning "Haas's new Sans Serif", which was later considered to be Helvetia (the word "Swiss" from Latin), but eventually changed to Helvetica, which in Latin was "Swiss". Helvetica is widely used in countries around the world that use the Latin alphabet and the Cyrillic alphabet. The same style was also transplanted into the Greek alphabet, Hebrew alphabet and Chinese characters. Helvetica is the default font for Apple computers, and the Arial font used by Microsoft is also derived from it. 2007 is the birth of Helvetica 50, as a graphic design and commercial very popular and successful in a font, British director Gary Hustwit specifically for her filmed a documentary "Helvetica". 2. Arial

Song Body

Arial is a non-liner-style TrueType font that is distributed with multiple sets of Microsoft applications. Monotype designed this set of glyphs to compete with Linotype's Helvetica as a cheaper alternative. Because Helvetica is one of the fonts specified by a printer that supports the Adobe PostScript language, the user chooses it to ensure that the files are printed correctly, so it is a popular font. Microsoft purchased a less expensive Arial license, so it contains only similar Helvetica glyphs such as Arial and Ms Sans Serif in the Windows system. Arial's correct English pronunciation has many different sayings. Although some people are used to reading "Air-ree-al", they should actually read "Are-ree-al".

3, Sans-serif

Sans-serif is a font that is not lined in Latin and corresponds to a blackbody in a Chinese font.
