Got the Mattel & Scotch wrong. Was distracted with the scotch one & second guessed myself with the Mattel. I'm on my phone so couldn't see where it said if I was right or wrong for the first half of them!
The flattened S was obviously Ariel (despite getting it wrong!) as well as the G.
From a neurodivergent perspective, Helvetica just feels 'heavier' like there's more weight to it.
The glyphs are thicker and more bottom-heavy generally, I don't think there's anything neurodivergent about that feeling lol
