 episodic + writings + helvetica
In his article, The Face of Uniformity, Toronto-based typographer and designer Nick Shinn goes as far as calling today’s usage of Helvetica and other early to mid-Twentieth Century sans serif faces a “facist aesthetic” that “pander(s) to the authority of mass fashion”.
Never again should we have to endure quite such dulling repetition of any single design.
When Dissenting Type: Helvetica, the Voice of Opposition was proposed, Helvetica appeared to to be entering a distinct rennaissance – it was being used by counter-culturalists, political dissenters and by artist-author-designers who appeared to be aware of Helvetica’s past, its history, its significance.

 Helvetica™ Greek Monotonic font. Fonts for Windows and Mac
Originally designed for hand composition, it has been adapted over the years for all methods of composition: from hot metal line composition, and opto-mechanical phototypesetting of the first generation, to digital typesetters.
This type family is a part of Linotype Library, distributed by ParaType.
This has resulted in a pleasant synthesis of aesthetical and technical aspects and has led to Neue Helvetica, a contemporary typeface geared to the future for use in modern electronic publishing.

 The Scourge of Arial
Arial owes its very existence to that success but is little more than a parasite—and it looks like it's the kind that eventually destroys the host.
With its friendly, cheerful appearance and clean lines, it was universally embraced for a time by both the corporate and design worlds as a nearly perfect typeface to be used for anything and everything.
An icon of the Swiss school of typography, Helvetica swept through the design world in the '60s and became synonymous with modern, progressive, cosmopolitan attitudes.

 max miedinger, history of helvetica
This was the middle of the Swiss design movement—a style of design that said design should be an objective communication of ideas and not an artistic expression.
Differences in alignment were corrected, subtle features were made consistent from one face to another, and all the weights and widths were designed to work together as one family.
This new family is called Neue Helvetica, and is available from, among others, Adobe.

 Veer: Products: Type: Helvetica Std Condensed
Helvetica is one of the most popular typefaces of all time.
It was designed by Max Miedinger in 1957 for the Haas foundry of Switzerland (the name is derived from Helvetia, the Latin name for Switzerland).
In the 1960s Helvetica came to the United States, where alignment standards differed; Mergenthaler Linotype copied the Stempel series and then added several new versions of the design.
