About the family


The original design of Neue Haas Grotesk™ has also been compromised several times since it was renamed Helvetica. Originally, Neue Haas Grotesk was produced for typesetting by hand in a range of point sizes from 5 to 72. When Linotype acquired the design and, in the process, renamed it “Helvetica,” it was also redrawn for machine-set fonts. This led to unfortunate design constraints required by the technology.

Neue Haas Grotesk™ Text is the refined, text-optimized revival of the original Helvetica predecessor. Digitized by Christian Schwartz in 2010 to restore the typographic precision envisioned by its original designers in the late 1950s. Neue Haas Grotesk Text features ample letter spacing, subtle ink traps, tabular figures, and stylistic alternates, all tailored to excel in long-form text reading applications.

Financial, journalistic, medical, scholarly, and pharmaceutical institutions have all embraced the design for its high levels of legibility and affability that make long-form text reading rewarding and pleasurable.
