haikus: helvetica

There’s a contest currently running for the new Helvetica documentary. The goal is to write a haiku about fonts. Come on. You know I couldn’t resist.

HELVETICA

Art in letterforms.
Defining the finer norms.
As genius performs.

Strong intrinsically.
Apex of simplicity.
Copied frequently.

Visual rapture,
Typographical master,
Three lines can’t capture.
