The song was written by band members tim_mcewan and tyler_lyle and produced by McEwan. It has a running time of five minutes and sixteen seconds and is in the key of [[WP>G minor|G minor]].
To create Helvetica, McEwan wrote and composed the entire song in one key, sampled the entire song, and then imported it into the synthesizer program TAL-Sampler and automated the sample rate. The pitch changes constantly throughout the song, always coming back to the original key of G minor.
In an interview with Magnetic Magazine, McEwan said about Helvetica:[2] <blockquote>
Tim: “Helvetica” is all about those late nights spent alone, online. The pale light from the CRT screen reflecting up on our face while the world around you is fast asleep. But are connected into a world of possibility. Chat rooms & kindred spirits. Connection. What we all hoped the internet would be.</blockquote>
