Adam bought me a book about Helvetica for my birthday, Helvetica: Homage to a typeface by Lars Müller. This quote stuck out a little:

The capital R is the only part of Helvetica that disturbs me. The odd bell-bottom curve of the leg reminds me of that photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe of a guy in a three-piece suit with his pants unzipped, exposing this huge, curving penis. The R is both the penis and the three-piece suit in one.
