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.

Helvetica 

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.

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.
