Hellvetica
Number: 72 pt.
Tagline: Before Hellvetica, graphic design wasn't nearly as graphic!
Hellvetica was born and raised the same as any other kid, went to school, got okay grades, and went to college. There she obtained a degree in graphic design and immediately was snatched up by a major corporation. Let's call them Company X. Company X gave Hellvetica everything she wanted in a steady job. There was good pay, benefits, and a feeling of self fulfillment. But the longer Hellvetica worked there her soul was slowly being sucked from her body, and she became more irritable by the day.
One day a particularly dense client came her way to have a brochure designed. The client wanted the brochure to be peach, aqua, and red with all of the typography in sand font. That was all that it took for Hellvetica to snap. She promptly grabbed the computer monitor and smashed it over the client's head. Sparks flew everywhere electrocuting the client and setting the main offices of Company X on fire. As Hellvetica exited her flaming ex-place of employment she was immediately arrested and carted off to jail. During her trial, Helvetica was put on parole and was made to go into some type of anger management program. Her parole officer suggested joining The Ohio Roller Girls roller derby league, and she did.
And here she is... HELLVETICA!
