Viva Helvetica!


Always a sucker for things Helvetica, I've fallen in love with Helvetimail, a script that puts Gmail into a much cleaner visual interface. It's the brainchild of Josef Richter, a designer and web entrepreneur from Olomouc, Czech Republic. Helvetica versions of Google Calendar and Reader, as well as Twitter, are also terrific.

As a typeface, Helvetica is clear and compelling. Although it has been shunted aside in favor of Arial, the feel of Helvetica is unmistakable.
