THIS IS HELVETICA® NOW

Everyone. Everywhere. Everything.

Download a free weight Purchase options

Helvetica® Now is a new chapter in the story of perhaps the best-known typeface
of all time. Available in three optical sizes—Micro, Text, and Display—every
character in Helvetica Now has been redrawn and refit; with a variety of useful
alternates added. It has everything we love about Helvetica and everything we
need for typography today. This is not a revival. This is not a restoration.

This is a statement.

This is Helvetica Now: for everyone, everywhere, for everything.

ABOUT HELVETICA® NOW



The planning and design for Helvetica® Now began in December 2014, with the goal
of creating a Helvetica that addresses the needs of today’s designers and
creatives. Helvetica Now was a collaborative effort involving dozens of
designers and engineers in the Monotype Studio.
