Helvetica
Designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger, Helvetica’s design is based on that of Akz idenz Grotesk (1896), and classified as a Groesque or Transitional san serif face. Originally it was called Neue Haas Grotesque; in 1960 it was revised and renamed Helvetica (Latin for “Swiss”).
Arial
Designed in 1982 by Robin Nicholas and Patricia Saunders for Mono type (not Microsoft), it’s classified as Neo Grotesque, was originally called Sonoran San Serif, and was designed for IBM’s bitmap font laser printers. It was first supplied with Windows 3.1 (1992) and was one of the core fonts in all subsequent versions of Windows until Vista, when to all intents and purposes, it was replaced with Calibri.
