GOT ME!
I accepted to HNH without noticing…
Will keep it as it’s firmly on target.

haha – thanks. I wasn’t trying to be deceptive to the group – thought it would be an interesting subject as Arial’s often passed off as Helvetica :)

Yep, often it’s the kerning that is the give away.

Nice one Matt. Without wanting to sound too much of a dick; I did know what it was as soon as I saw the thumbnail! I’m a bit of a font geek and a real font snob!
Good work (and on the Times one as well)
I need to do a new Helvetica T for HNH soon….

Thanks mate – I had no doubt you’d spot the font :) Your rather cool 3d rat got me into this group in the first place :)
