Article about "Euroface" at Mr. Bil'ak's site:

"The research included continuing reevaluation of existing
type designs (Helvetica, DIN Schriften, Universe etc.) The
results are revealing. For instance: Helvetica failed in all the
laboratory tests, obtaining only 0.4 ISRU. Consequently, the
European Committee for Uniformity of Type Design and
Type Safety decided to abolish Helvetica for the 21 century
as absolutely non-functional and dangerous for the new
generation. As we have emphasised, this total systems
viewpoint is necessary in order to avoid proliferating design
which, whilst independently effective for regional problems,
conflict with the current overall system."

Dangerous for the new generation?

This means we'll never be rid of it.

This article/research was tongue in cheek.

Why not make it necessary to obtain a license in order to use Helvetica?

Sort of like a driver's license but granted on a per project basis to ensure it is not used gratuitously.

just a joke.

You already do need a license to use Helvetica. I guess it's not working. :-)
