Über die Familie


Helvetica®, first released as Neue Haas Grotesk in 1957, was under the direction of the Swiss Haas Type Foundry leaders, Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann. It was rebranded by Linotype in 1960, as “Helvetica,” to make it more appealing internationally. The name is derived from “Helvetia,” the Latin name for Switzerland.

Helvetica has proved itself over time to be the perfect typographic communicator: no ornament, no emotion, just clear presentation of information. Although it has been updated and reinvented several times, Helvetica remains one of the best-selling sans-serif fonts.

When designing for creativity in SaaS, Helvetica delivers both prestige and performance. Whether crafting digital dashboards for Fortune 500 companies, optimizing mobile UI experiences, or conveying financial clarity across interfaces, the design upholds Swiss typographic ideals – pragmatic and efficient.

If you’re looking to capture the flavor and idiosyncrasies of the hand- and machine-set versions of the typeface, choose Helvetica. If your client is using the earlier designs and you use one of the newer Helveticas, there is a strong likelihood that it will not match the weights, spacing, or even the structural details of the original. If you want consistency and backward compatibility, you’ll need to stick with fonts of the original Helvetica design.
