Cheeky Durex ads designed by Andrej Krahne
Although I think the type choice could be better (Hobo definitely isn’t one of my favorites) and the copy writing tweaked, I think the overall concept is pretty great.

Helvetica is like a celebrity, (no really it is, it’s in a movie). It’s so highly regarded among designers and never hated on like Comic Sans or Arial.
I’ve discovered a brilliant crafty exploration, showing Arial vs. Helvetica side-by-side. You’ll notice that in most cases Helvetica is the simpler, more elegant of the two. (see the angles of the r, t and c).
You might also noticed that there’s only 10 characters listed here, is it because all the others are identical? Some investigation needs to take place! Anyone up for the challenge?
