A neo-grotesque with Helvetica and Haas Unica roots, updated with ink traps for a machine-like, technology-facing aesthetic.
About
Heltar takes its cues from Helvetica and Haas Unica, adding optical corrections for tight tracking and ink traps that give it a stylised, mechanical edge. Eight weights with matching obliques are included, alongside over 650 characters per style, fourteen number variants and alternate glyphs for characters such as I, R, a, g and l. Language support covers Western, Southern and Central European Latin scripts, making it a broad-ranging choice for tech and manufacturing branding.
Classification
