Gear for Alpha Geeks > Danger: Helvetica

In the 7 years since the BBC program "Look Around You" first mentioned the dangers of Helvetica— which it dismissed as a “very, very rare occurrence”— the menace has made the leap from calcium atoms and humans to the Web itself. A quick search on Google revealed that Helvetica is lurking in the cascading style sheets over 15,000 web sites, and in fact almost every Mac and PC includes some variant of this terror.

What is perhaps most alarming, however, is that aside from a recent mockumentary horror movie exploring the nightmare that is Helvetica, almost no attention has been paid to this phenomenon. So, in an effort to raise public awareness, I have created this set of wearables and usables. If you see Helvetica in the wild, do your part for public safety; don your own Danger Helvetica shirt first, and then help the old, very young, or infirm with their own.
