Comment Comment by rexreed Agree that lower case is trivial due to the level terminal edges in Helvetica.For uppercase, the tip offs are the following:* The capital A in Helvetica is narrower (more isoceles and less equilateral)* The capital G has an extra hatch on the right side (looks like an arrow and not an L)* The capital R does not have a straight leg in Helvetica* Conversely, arial chooses a non-straight hatch mark for the Q whereas Helvetica's Q hatch is straight.This image provides a good overview on the capital (and numeric) differences: http://cdn.ilovetypography.com/img/gqr.gifIn the case of TOYOTA where it seems that kerning might different in two images, the heavier strokes in Helvetica should tip that off. parent rexreed 13 years ago
For uppercase, the tip offs are the following:
* The capital A in Helvetica is narrower (more isoceles and less equilateral)
* The capital G has an extra hatch on the right side (looks like an arrow and not an L)
* The capital R does not have a straight leg in Helvetica
* Conversely, arial chooses a non-straight hatch mark for the Q whereas Helvetica's Q hatch is straight.

In the case of TOYOTA where it seems that kerning might different in two images, the heavier strokes in Helvetica should tip that off.
