I would love to see the overlays of the new and old forms.
The extended video has sort of a comparison
I’m not a designer really, but I have a feeling that Monotype is a bit too late with this. Whoever wanted to use a "better" version of Helvetica have already adopted Neue Haas Grotesk. Micro is good though.
And a self-hosted unlimited/perpetual web license of Neue Haas Grotesk is only $377,000 for a savings of $63,000!
for the likes of Bloomberg that doesn’t seem to be a problem :) But yeah, NHG is hella expensive even for non-perpetual licenses. It looks so perfect tho…
And the difference?
Would be nice to see more realistic examples of this being used in actual context rather than the cool and glitzy but impractical examples in the marketing content. Also, a clearer breakdown of the differences between this and the previous Helvetica would be helpful too.
Listen to this man's voice and our voices, we beg you.
No Cyrillic font support. Not good.
AGREED

Did not expect this, it looks good though!
So much hype...
Cool landing page! Is there no support for Greek though? I only see 4 Greek characters (those used in math equations) and nothing else. No Cyrillic either?
That F. Overall, nay.
