  Tired of ARIAL FONT! HELP!

  Posted by Milton Hockman on April 15, 2008 at 12:09 am

  I know every graphic design book says to throw away your stock system fonts. But, i have been using ARIAL forever because of lack of fonts and time constraints.

  Can someone point me to a FREE FONT that is a great sans-serif for everyday use? I want to replace using ARIAl all the time!

  I feel like commercials like VErizon, Comcast, etc. use a certain sans-serif font that just looks better than mine.

  any freebies out there that look that good?

  Hi,

  Do you have Helvetica? Ariel is just Microsoft’s very slight modification of Helvetica. The main difference is in the terminators on the letter c, s, r and the top of the t. They end at an angle whereas Helvetica ends flat.
