About
A grotesque sans by Eduardo Rennó that revives a 1950s Haas Type Foundry design by Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann, the lineage that led to Helvetica. Dalton Maag's update is built as a variable font with Weight, Width, Italic and Tracking axes, which makes it more flexible than its forebear while keeping the calm Swiss neutrality that draws people to grotesques in the first place.
Classification
