Univers VS Helvetica

During my research on the typeface Univers for Project#2 I stumbled upon this project made by a graphic design student named Sonraya Kramer from New York. In a very Illustrative and easy to understand way, the artist demonstrates the many differences between the two similarly designed typefaces. Here are a few screenshots from the project.



The first screen shot explains the differences in the heights of the capitals as well as the stroke weight differences. The second screen shot describes the roundness and perfect circles the numbers in from Univers attempt to include in their making.
