Helvetica.
Jeff TremaineHOST

Jeff TremaineHOST

Johnny KnoxvilleHOST
It, it-
Jeff TremaineHOST
That, that, don't explain anything.
Mike DodgeHOST
Oh, and so anyone who knows even a single Pantone color, you got to watch this.
Mike DodgeHOST
It reminds me of the one where they talk about the history of Helvetica.
Mike DodgeHOST
And I think all the graphic design people maybe are naturally more predisposed toward liking this, but I think everyone can like it.
Mike DodgeHOST
This is a wonderful part of streaming.
AntHOST
Or not even.
AntHOST
It's Helvetica, I think.
AntHOST
Yeah.
Dunstan BentleyPANELIST
Uh, it, it, that kind of kit looks a bit Sunday league-y, but-

Richard CoffinHOST
There were some nefarious players on our team.
Richard CoffinHOST
Francis Helvetica, for example, the art director, turns out not even his real name.
Richard CoffinHOST
He said the Helvetica font was named after him.
Richard CoffinHOST
I just kind of took his word for it.
Richard CoffinHOST
I didn't think someone would lie about that.

EmilyNARRATOR
We sit across from each other, me prodding at pasta and Mark spinning stories about a productive day.
EmilyNARRATOR
When I ask about Dean's redesign, he's vague, switches to a joke about ad buyers who can't tell Helvetica from Ariel.
EmilyNARRATOR
The overhead light reveals the uneven stubble on his jaw, a sign he's been skipping his morning routine.
EmilyNARRATOR
He laughs too loudly at my puns, then retreats to the kitchen to refill our wine.
20 MINS LATER
EmilyNARRATOR
