“Helvetica is not typography!”

We came across this engaging poster by way of Icograda. Here’s an excerpt of creator Boris Ljubicic’s thinking behind the image:

“Helvetica is not typography, it’s lettering!” Which indicates that Helvetica outgrown itself and become far more than just typography, just as the Swiss Army knife did. As with the Swiss Army knife, in typography, Helvetica can do anything.
