I would think Arial would be chosen so that it would appear near the top of any alphabetical list of fonts. Who's going to scroll all the way down to the S for Sonoran Sans.
@@middleagedhack I find some sort of logical connection between the original name Sonoran (related to Sonos - sound?) and Arial (that which sounds like an Aria - a musical composition for a strong soloist usually with an airy quality ie in a high pitched register)
my main gripe is capital 'i' like. it's jsut a stick and I constantly get it confused with lowercase' L' ................ l I, go ahead. tell me which is which at a glance.
I thought he was gonna talk about Arial the Little Mermaid being older and weirder, like she's some kind of ancient eldritch horror or something. I'm glad it wasn't that 😅😅
Great video! I think you could have showed the examples a bit longer and maybe even a bit more of them. But the story was great. Good luck on your channel!
for me, the Gil sans "R" looked much more elegant and overall better than both the Helvetica and Arial "R". the Helvetica "R" felt very brick-ish, which is pretty inelegant to me. The Arial "R" looks stretched horizontally.
I like Helvetica and Univers better than Arial. I believe that Arial is an imitation font and not authentic. In spite of that fact, I use Arial sparingly, but Helvetica and Neue Haas Grotesk fonts some more before I would "look at" the Arial font. Neue Haas Grotesk looks similar to Helvetica in most respects. It is found in Microsoft Windows. I find that the letters uppercase G and R and the number 1 in the Arial font are unattractive, and boring like blurred lines. I do notice on RU-vid that the Arial font appears as numbers on freight railcars. Your stories are terrific!
@@middleagedhack You are welcome. The compliment is intended to be the truth to be told. Typeset work is another interest of mine like microcomputer technology. Happy Writing!👍
i don't think i'm going to like, subscribe or comment. ah goddamnit! :-) enjoyed it, subscribed and liked. a critique is the intro length: i think you should pare it down. this is coming from someone who just ruined a perfectly good new part while installing it on my band's van, so, ya know -- caveat emptor. looking forward to more! greetings from alaska
Thanks! I’ve been thinking of cutting that intro down, your comment has convinced me! I have a few videos in the pipeline already so look for a shortened one in a few weeks!
