Tutorial 6- Helvetica Documentary

I found the documentary to be valuable as we do not tend to read into fonts we just accept them. The font being neutral has no meaning itself. Although, helvetica is so common, they described the font as just there and we accept it. If I wrote something in times font it may look like this: frogs dance around the kitchen. This changes the meaning of the message, as people may tend not to believe it. However, if it is presented in helvetica: frogs dance around the kitchen, people are more likely to believe it cause the font is familiar to us. When looked at closely the font is heavy in the middle and needs white space.
