does anyone know of a typeface that is similar to helvetica with a slab serif?

I know helvetica is a sans-serif, but I am looking for something similar in weight and proportion with a slab serif. Thanks!

I think you just want to type "slab."

Memphis is good, also look at Serifa and ITC Lubalin Graphic. both are strong 'classic' slabs.

Frutiger's Glypha or Serifa. Both based on Univers, but close.

rockwell sounds about right for you, does it not? chop the slabs off that and you're not far from Helv, (in teh lighter weights anyway)...

i think Lubalin Graph Medium gets you the same graphical "mancha" (don't have an english word for this one) or feeling as helvetica.

I always thought of that as the equivalent of Avant Garde, more geometric than Helv

AG it's also close, but has no slabbie underneaths

Awesome turn of phrase if I do say so...we've all woken up after a hard night of drinking with a bird sporting a bit of the slabbie underneaths, haven't we...

Throw some typefaces at me that would compliment and work well with Helvetica online...
