Who are Max Miedinger + Eduard Hoffmann?

Some say they are bastards. Other say they are saints. I agree with both

Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann are responsible for creating Helvetica, the most commonly used typeface in the world. Helvetica's pop-culture success can be attributed to the typeface's neutral design. It can be both used beautifully and disgustingly. It all depends on the designer.

At least its not comic sans...
