A popular modernist typeface that's used just about everywhere, such as in corporate logos, signs, posters, operating systems, advertisments, and et cetera. Odds are you've seen it more than enough times in your life to memorize the distinct shape of each letter.
Graphic designers love and loathe Helvetica for its modernist appearance and practicality, and its adaption for any practical purpose.

I watched that Helvetica documentary last night, and I fell asleep at the 20 minute mark. Pretentious documentary is pretentious.

Perhaps the best font ever, Helvetica is admired for its modernist, neutral design. It has been copied many times, in Arial, Swiss 721, and Univers 95.

Hey what’s the best font?
Futura, and Graphik are good fonts, but we should all praise our great leader of the universe known as Helvetica.

Derived from an experiment (carried out in Switzerland, aka Helvetica) where the nucleus of a calcium molecule in skin was removed, leaving a temporarily stable electron/proton shell, causing a mutation that made the skin grow over all the openings in the skin. The helvetica scenario is a nightmare scenario that occurrs when this technique of removing the calcium nucleus- called quantum superpositioning- is used irresponsibly to harm people.
Political advisors feared that the country would resort to biological weapons, causing something like the helvetica scenario to happen.

1. A situation that can arise from improper handling of the element intelligent Calcium (I-Calcium). I suggest you consult the Health and Safety Executive for guidelines. Originating from the series Look Around You blants.
2. Helvetica is a font also known as Arial. There is some confunkledness over the name and origination of this font resulting in an Helvetica Scenario.

The Helvetica Scenario is when the queen leaves the nest, or the center of calcium. this can happen when making industrial calcium. Noone really knows where the makers of Look Around You came up with this idea but it is thought that it could possibly be an inside joke(possibly to the entire country) that the U.S. is left out of. When helvetica happens you do not want to be anywhere near that area. your face will melt off which is pretty bad.
It is not only limited to calcium however, it can also happen with i-calcium atomic weight 42.

this is the only way to express it.
