The tail of "a" in helvetica flicks out to the right, the example above does not. The mystery thickens. Not sure what that font is, but it certainly is not Helvetica.

Helvetica Neue has a much wider stance especially with the "h" and "e"...I know this because I am a design student and absolutely adore Helvetica Neue because of it's versatility. But my guess is still Just simple Helvetica...the scale can throw one off fairly easily Helvetica bold, maybe.

It didn’t age well, I recall thinking it was hideous, and as a pre-teen/teen I had subconsciously associated it with cold school-system authority. I still have that reaction to this day. **File under bad nostalgia** lol.

Of course, further inspection of the box contents reveals what appears to be tape, paint rollers, and an oversize ruler. Perhaps the “Optional Item: Super-Surface” is actually pre-packaged gumption?

I'm a graphic design student myself, and am german/english. Have lived in both countries myself. Whenever I do stuff at uni (study in England), you can see my german roots popping up. Kinda Bauhaus like. Weird, isn't it?! I guess it's a cultural thing and the overall sterile look in Germany. :) I want to make love a swiss graphic designer.
