Apps for Helvetica Lovers

Helv_Time

this app shows the time in a prettier not so precise time. For example it currently tells me in helvetica of course “It is Twenty To Three”. When I first downloaded the app it was having trouble updating the time but it appears that bug was fixed.

Swissmaker

this app advertises itself “anyone can swiss 2.0 – make the perfect swiss style posters”. Essentially you write a short message and it renders a graphic for you in black and white with helvetica lettering. Not sure why this is necessary but it works.

Helvetimer

I think I’ll actually keep this helvetica app after my initial trial. You can set multiple timers and give each timer a name and watch the countdown in big helvetica numbers. I like the minimalism of it but also the practical use.

Font Clock

another pretty but I’m not sure the practical use app – this “clock” displays all of the information in text rather than numbers. So it currently says Saturday February 26, Two Hour, Fifty Minute and a moving second time.
