Other features include a variety of font weightsĪmong these are the overhaul of the 100-year-old typeface especially designed for Transport for London. By buying out other type companies, they acquired the rights to other fonts, including Helvetica. Nix and the company don't know if the typeface will be as popular in the next 60 years from now as it currently is, but he hopes that "for those moments when you want to speak as plainly as possible in the manner that comes as close as visible language can to being universal, you'll use Helvetica".įounded in 1887, Monotype has produced a number of typefaces for computer-ready use, and for brands.

Monotype's overhaul involved rounding the style of characters in the typeface "Pre-digital Helveticas had subtle-but-important adjustments for small, medium, and large sizes," he continued. "Neue Helvetica was designed for one size that was optimized to work well in text," Nix said. Related story Monotype overhauls London Underground's 100-year-old Johnston typeface
