Monotype launches the first redesign in 35 years of Helvetica

Monotype has today introduced the Helvetica​​ Now typeface, a new family of fonts that have been carefully and respectfully re-drawn for the modern era. Consisting of 48 fonts and three optical sizes,​ ​the typeface has been produced from size-specific drawings and with size-specific spacing and is the first redesign in 35 years of what many argue is the world’s most ubiquitous font, Helvetica. The typeface embodies clean and versatile design, and the Helvetica Now typeface continues the tradition established by the Helvetica and Neue Helvetica families while introducing a number of improvements.
