Helvetia 'oH wa' pong'e' ghajbogh Sep.
'ach wa' pong 'oHbe' Helveti*c*a'e'.

Helvetica is the typeface (font) name, not the name of the country.

Switzerland is called the Confoederatio Helvetica (i.e., the Swiss
Confederation), which is sometimes Helvetia (no "c") for short, but
never Helvetica, which would be an adjective ("Swiss").
