Helvetica fonts grew in popularity throughout the 1960s and 1970s, and more versions of the family were introduced. This led to vast confusion: the same weight is often referred to by two different names, design features often vary from one face to another, and so on. In 1983, D. Stempel AG redesigned the famous Helvetica typeface for Linotype in order to remedy this situation and also update the font to the new digital age.
He called it, Neue Helvetica (German for New Helvetica), and integrates an easy-to-use numbering system to classify multiple styles and weights. Today, the Neue Helvetica font family consists of 51 different font weights. The initial numbering system for the weight designations came from Adrian Frutiger's numbering system for the Univers font family.
The basic font weight, Neue Helvetica Roman, is at the heart of this numbering system. The designation 55 Roman forms the central point. The first figure of the number describes the stroke thickness -- 25 for ultra light to 95 for extra black. The second figure gives information on the width and orientation of the font -- Neue Helvetica 53 Extended or Neue Helvetica 57 Condensed, for instance. Neue Helvetica sets new rules in conduct in the terms of its form and number of variants.
The Neue Helvetica font is an ideal sans serif font that is ageless, undefined and can be used for all types of documents, advertisements or projects.
