Neue Helvetica (Helvetica Neue) – The world’s most popular sans serif typeface


Neue Helvetica (also known as Helvetica Neue) is a completely redrawn version of the Helvetica font range that has 51 Neue Helvetica font styles in weights varying from ultra light to extra black.

As the various original Helvetica font versions were imbalanced and disproportionate to each other, a complete overhaul was instigated in 1983 by D. Stempel AG and Linotype. Neue Helvetica was the outcome. The ‘new’ Helvetica font designs are much more cohesive, structured, have unified heights and widths and improved legibility. A numerical classification scheme was also introduced (based on the Univers system) to help distinguish all Neue Helvetica fonts in the enlarged 51 font NH family range.

Neue Helvetica is the quintessential sans serif font that is understated, timeless and neutral – without doubt the undisputed king of fonts.

Helvetica was originally known as Neue Haas Grotesk and was designed in 1957 by Max Miedinger for the Haas Type Foundry based in Switzerland. In 1960 the name was changed to Helvetica (an adaptation of "Helvetia", the Latin name for Switzerland).To view the original Helvetica page, click Helvetica.
