Type Comparisons

Univers 65 v Franklin Gothic.
Although these fonts look very similar when used as an all caps headline, there are some distinguishing characteristics to tell them apart. For instance, the bowls of universe are much wider, the tail on the Q in Franklin Gothic is a descender while the tail in Univers stays along the baseline, the cap height in Franklin Gothic is shorter, and in Univers the terminal in the J curves up while Franklin Gothics terminal ends parallel to the baseline..
