In fact, the sheer cost of licensing that most modern of all fonts has, in recent years, pushed even the formerly Helvetica-using likes of Apple, Google, and IBM to come up with their own typefaces instead - all of which, tellingly, resemble Helvetica.

The VergeвЂ™s Jon Porter describes Hellvetica as вЂњa self-aware Comic Sans with kerning thatвЂ™s somehow much much worse.вЂќ If that most hated Windows font hasnвЂ™t been enough to inflict psychological disturbance on the designers in your life, you can head to HellveticaвЂ™s official site and вЂњexperience it in all its uneven, gappy glory.вЂќ Roif and Woodard have made Hellvetica free to use, something that certainly canвЂ™t be said of any genuine version of Helvetica.

Much painstaking labor has also gone into HellveticaвЂ™s kerning, but not to make it as beautiful as possible: on the contrary, Roif and Woodard have taken Helvetica and kerned it for maximum ugliness. But however astonishing a showcase it may be, Helvetica Now doesnвЂ™t drive home the importance of the art of kerning in as visceral a manner as another new typeface: Hellvetica, designed by New York creative directors Zack Roif and Matthew Woodward. Few of those characteristics demanded more attention than the spacing - or to use the typographical term, the kerning. The development of Helvetica Now also necessitated a close look at all the versions of Helvetica so far developed (the most notable major revision being Neue Helvetica, released in 1983) and adapting their best characteristics for an age of screens. вЂњThey had identified a short laundry list of things that would be better.вЂќ What shortcomings they found arose from the fact that the font had been designed for an analog age of optical printing, and вЂњwhen we went digital, a lot of that nuance of optical sizing sort of washed away.вЂќ Ultimately, the project was less about updating Helvetica than restoring characters lost in its adaptation to digital, including вЂњthe straight-legged capital вЂR,вЂ™ single-story lowercase вЂa,вЂ™ lowercase вЂuвЂ™ without a trailing serif, a lowercase вЂtвЂ™ without a tailing stroke on the bottom right, a beardless вЂg,вЂ™ some rounded punctuation.вЂќ вЂњFour years ago, our German office kicking around the idea of creating a new version of Helvetica,вЂќ Charles Nix, type director at Helvetica-rights-holder Monotype tells The Verge. But as times change, so must even near-perfect fonts: hence Helvetica Now.
