Matthew Carter is the creator of the typeface Georgia which can be seen above.  From what I can remember he thought that the use of helvetica was okay for advertisement purposes.  I honestly had noticed that helvetica was used so much until I saw this documentary.  I now realize that it might be used too much.

Above is a picture of my heat transfer book.  Many of the words on this page are in the helvetica typeface.  Some of these words include "heat", "mass transfer", etc.
