“Typography is two-dimensional architecture, based on experience and imagination, and guided by rules and readability.”

Helvetica
Some wise man has said "Typography to letters is like fashion to clothes."
Typography is one of the areas in design, I am always curious to learn. I watched thousands of videos and took up some courses to learn this amazing art.
I like various typefaces but Helvetica has been my all time favourite. Its simplicity makes it uniquely beautiful. I know there are alternatives to it like Nimbus Sans, Neue Montreal, etc. which claims to be better. But, these new fonts are slight improvements over Helvetica.
There's also an attempt made by Monotype to refresh Helvetica for this digital era.

Sir Isaac Newton
When I was school kid, I found Newton a really notorious scientist. There was hardly any chapter in my physics book where he was not mentioned. No wonder he is one of the best scientist mankind has ever produced.
So, this piece of design is a tribute to both Sir Isaac Newton and Helvetica.
