Cheeky I know but does anyone have a copy of Neue Haas Grotesk?
Someone here must work for Bloomberg Business Week...

Isn't it mostly locked up in licensing hell, so even if you did use it they'd pretty much know you had stolen it.

Yeah but... it'd still be nice to have a little play!

Corr it is nice though isn't it. Much prefer the alternate 'R'.

As I said to a wino on the corner who was munching on a bunch of grapes: "Dude. You're gonna have to wait."
- Lol @ wino eating grapes... Or 'pre-wine'.set
- Good Lord, I'd never dream of saying something like that to an alcoholic, no matter how poor they are.detritus
- I've never said such a thing. I was recycling a joke from some dead stand-up comic, whose name I can't remember anymore.gramme
- anymore. Southern guy, long hair. Deadpan, brilliant.gramme
- I think he waited *too* long to eat the grapes.gramme

well spotted set, i never really noticed the differences between Neue Haas Grotesk and Helvetica.
But man, that 'R' is much sexier in neue hass grotesk, much more powerful.
- that's like not knowing the difference between Helv. and Arialdigdre

I really should learn more about type history because i always think that Max Miedinger (helvetica) was just a lazy ass who did very little work in modifying Akzidenz-Grotesk.
Günter Gerhard Lange (Akzidenz-Grotesk) did all the hard work!
Akzidenz-Grotesk, all the way from 1898, now thats fucking impressive!

^feel free to fill me in on my narrow minded off the cuff interpretation of over a hundred years of type history and innovation! :D

- Much nicer forms. Although clearly the kerning on Helv makes it look extra shitpig
