Helvetica. Same as American Apparel.
Re: SPZ Font
It's not just standard Helvetica though. it is Helvetica Neue which is a refined version of the original. To be very precise I would say that since about 2002 most good typographers would be using the Helvetice Neue 'LT' cut.
It is also existely kerned. so if you are replicating it then keep that in mind, each letter will need adjustment.
The typography on all Spz albums since LAGWAFIS has been of an incredibly high level.

That's cool I didn't know that! Somebody actually just recommended the documentary about Helvetica to me the other night. Have you seen it and/or would recommend it?

Definitely worth a watch if you're a designer. I've seen it and enjoyed it.

Oh wow no I've never heard of it... I will definitely seek it out though. I do find typography fascinating.

Re: SPZ Font
Very good documentary on Helvetica and the typographer that designed it. As you probably know it is the world's most widely used font. Nice, clean and easy to read.
