Economist Cover

This was the the cover for the economist a week or two ago. Nothing says it like Helvetica.

On the mark! What a great cover! Hopefully, it's posted high enough on the shelf that small children can't read it.

Did you see the Helvetica documentary? I really loved it, geek that I am.

The black and white and centering also make the message blunt.

I was looking at the C . . . not Helvetia. What you have is Verdana bold. I looked up other economist covers, many of which are quite nice, but this very funny spoof was not among them. Too bad.
