- Description
- Developed in 1957 by Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann as Neue Haas Grotesk, it was later renamed Helvetica. Influenced by Akzidenz-Grotesk, the font became popular during the International Typographic Style era. Notable features include a high x-height, strokes terminating on horizontal or vertical lines, and unusually tight spacing between letters. Originally designed for European graphic designers' resurgent interest in 'grotesque' sans-serifs, it has since been used extensively across various design applications.
Best Use Cases

- Editorial design
