Does the pen come in Arial or Verdana models?

I saw the screening of Helvetica in Nashville, TN as part of the community screenings. A panel discussion followed. It was interesting to see the polarized emotions on either side of the love/hate relationship with Helvetica both on film and in the audience.

Thanks for creating such an interesting film. I would have liked to see you discuss more the advantages of using Helvetica in electronic design. As a designer of online training, I use CSS to select a font for ease of legibility. Helvetica fits that bill nicely. If utility is one purpose of good design, then Helvetica is a great design.

Would really prefer it in oblique.

Is there one that writes in djiberish available?
When writing my signature, I never make it quite unreadable enough. It allways looks different, but still as if a ten year old’s signature…

Smart!

I remembered that I saw someone’s handwriting is constant, just like the computer font. Now I know the secret of it, they use this type of pen.

I’ve been searching for ages to find a pen that writes in my handwriting. The Helvetica pen will do for now.
