Helvetica2 shows the differences between the fonts Helvetica and Arial (Regular in both instances).

Discrepancies mostly follows a logical pattern (e.g. horisontal/vertical cutoffs in Helvetica Regular versus arbitrary angled cutoffs in Arial Regular). After some practice and study, it is possible to easy and fast identify which of the two fonts is used in a text or logo.
