Helvetica Desktop EULA

Webfonts: for your website

Webfonts allow you to embed the font into a webpage using the @font-face rule, so paragraphs and headings of text can be styled as the webfont. You will be serving the webfont kit for your own site and linking it in the CSS.

Webfonts can be used on a single domain. Agencies responsible for multiple websites, for example web design agencies or hosting providers, may not share a single webfont license across multiple websites.

If the font file itself won't be embedded in the website (for example, when the font is used in a static graphic image such as a logo) you should purchase a Desktop license instead.

Most foundries on MyFonts offer their webfonts with the Annual license model. Click here to Learn more.

Helvetica WebFont EULA

App: for embedding in mobile applications

Select this license type when you are developing an app for iOS, Android, or Windows Phone, and you will be embedding the font file in your mobile application's code.

Helvetica App EULA

Electronic Doc: for embedding in e-text products

You can use an Electronic Doc license to embed the font in an electronic publication such as an eBook, eMagazine, or eNewspaper.

An Electronic Doc license is based on the number of publications in which the font is used. Each issue counts as a separate publication. Regional or format variations don't count as separate publications.

Updated versions of publications that are free to previous customers do not need a new license; otherwise, each new version that is released counts as a separate publication.

For font usage in graphic images shown as the ePub cover, consider a Desktop license instead as most allow for it.

Helvetica Electronic Doc EULA

Digital Ad/Email: for use in HTML5 ads

You can use this type of license to embed fonts into digital ads, such as ads built using HTML5.

We'll supply a kit containing webfonts that can be used within digital ads, such as banner ads. This kit may be shared with third parties who are working on your behalf to produce the ad creatives, however you are wholly responsible for it.

HTML5 ads use webfonts, so why purchase a Digital Ads license rather than a Webfont license?

There are a few reasons, such as the Digital Ads EULA having terms that enable usage in digital ads and on advertising networks.

Digital advertisements also have different usage patterns compared to websites. Most websites generally have consistent pageviews month-to-month whereas advertising impressions can vary wildly month-to-month. Prices reflect this, making it much less expensive to use a Digital Ad license.

If you know the number of impressions the campaign requires, that amount can be ordered before the campaign begins. For campaigns where number impressions is unknown until the end of the campaign, you can true up at the end of each calendar month.

About the family

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.
