I like Helvetica. What I don't like is when it's used just because when a different, more suitable typeface could have been used.

I have seen it but it was 4 or 5 years ago. Not a very memorable movie since I don't remember much about it :confused:

I like it. It is quite neutral and allows to apply itself in minimalistic jobs.

Sorry, can't answer your poll:P I don't hate Helvetica, but I don't love it either.. It can be useful if you need someting simple, but I wouldn't say it's beautiful.

I love Helvetica's lowercase "a." However, I rarely use Helvetica and I'm not totally sure why. I guess it sort of feels like the type equivalent of an Ikea furniture set. Sure, it's well-designed, incredibly functional, and bound to look great, but it's also just a tad too familiar.
