My favourite Fontplays
 
FP by Graham Meade, featuring Hall Fetica Demo. Available on the abf picks pages.
 
Dennis, the master of FontPlays, created his first book cover:  
I saw an ad done with the ubiquitous HELLvetica, and wondered what sans fonts would make a similar header. I got to playing and this is what came out. Florence set by Derek Vogelpohl, and Amerika by Apostrophe. Both with full character sets at The L'ab.
 
In the time of Julius Caesar, there were a people (the Helvetii) inhabiting that part of south-east Gaul which is now in Switzerland, and which was therefore called Helvetia. The Latin adjective "helveticus" can best be defined as "of or pertaining to Helvetia and/or the Helvetii"; the feminine singular and neuter plural forms are both "helvetica" - as used in the expression "CONFOEDERATIA HELVETICA" on some Swiss coins from 1875 (which must have been well before the "invention" of Linotype's "HELLvetica" font!)
I wonder when Linotype will sue the Swiss Government?
