1988. After years of having an interest in sans serif typefaces, the make use of the experience and stylistic developments of the twentieth century.
Designed for the Stephenson Blake type foundry. A very heavy, narrow, sans serif face intended for use in newspapers, for headlines and in advertisements. Aptly named, this face has a very large "x" height with short ascenders and descenders.
Aldo Novarese designed Eurostile, but I remastered these by extending glyphs, multilingual support, added greek and cyrillic.
With the name Helvetica (Latin for Swiss), this font has the objective and functional style which was associated with Swiss typography in the 1950s and 1960s. It is perfect for international correspondence: no ornament, no emotion, just clear presentation of information. Helvetica is still one of the best selling sans-serif fonts.
