Helvetica syndrome 

The phenomenon during the mid to late 1990's where newly created fonts at the time, like Arial Rounded, Comic Sans MS, FF Dax, FF Meta, Fira Sans, Tahoma, Verdana, were used on publications and advertising materials as an epitome of modernity

You could see Helvetica syndrome in action everywhere in the late 1990s, with designers ditching traditional fonts for trendy options like Comic Sans and Verdana to give their work a fresh, modern vibe!

the helvetica scenario

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.

The 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.

Helvetifag 

Someone (girl or boy), usually in the Print world, who is absolutely obsessed with Typography. Helvetica and probably only 5 other fonts are this persons LIFE. Definately owns the movie "Helvetica" and has watched it over and over again. Definately walks around with "clever" t-shirts with inside font jokes. This person can just look at a font and tell you it's exact name, how many times it's been over-used and how bad of a person you are for even considering it.

Oh, my god. When will this kid just shut up.. He's constantly yappin about this ad and that ad and how bad the type is in. What a fuckin Helvetifag.
