To the untrained eye, typefaces look relatively the same. They may notice small differences, like whether or not a font has serifs or not. However, someone who works with type can pick up the differences and know the similarities. Out of the five Classic Typefaces, the one that I like the most is Century and the one that I like less is Helvetica Neue. Both are great typefaces and both have their uses and are widely used since the 1900s. I like Century for the curved brackets which add interest and the slab serifs at the bottom of the letters which help to create a visual line when reading. Century has a lighter weight than Helvetica, and it has the brackets that Helvetica does not have. Most text books use Century because it is easy to read. Helvetica has aspects that Century doesn’t have as well, so it is not all just once sided. For instance, Helvetica has a square dot over the letter ‘i’. Helvetica also has a double story ‘a’ that is not found with Century. Both typefaces played a major role in the development of type in the 20th Century.
