is this regarded as a good typeface. I liked it 4 weeks ago but the more i work with it, the less i like it.
although this happens whenever i look at a font for too long.

i agree with what you say. I was looking for an alternative to helvetica, but in the end it failed to live up to its promise.

I like it, but it depends who you ask, my old creative directors would make me sit in the corner for an hour to think about what I'd done whenever I had attempted to use it instead of Helvetica...
Also depends on which cut you're using. The Berthold version is nicer in my opinion...

less refined, but more energetic than Neue Helv?

Akzidenz is alot more workman like than Helvetica, it looks stronger when tracked/kerned properly, it is beautiful, but another suggestion would be Univers, lots of weights, I would always choose Univers over helvetica.

Uncle_Helv is Univers(al)

Isn't Helvetica more or less based on Akzidenz?
