#1: Helvetica® Now
By Monotype
Helvetica® Now contains 48 fonts in the family covering three distinct optical sizes: Micro, Text and Display. It also has an extensive set of alternates, which allow designers the opportunity to experiment with and adapt Helvetica’s tone of voice. This includes a hooked version of the lowercase l, as well as a rounded G, and a straight-legged R, a single story a and a lowercase u without a trailing serif.
In the past, designers had to nudge, trim and contort the design to create stylish display-type lockups with Helvetica. Helvetica Now Display was designed and spaced with those modifications in mind — saving effort and providing more consistent and stylish results.

This style represents TypeType’s reflections on the topic of what would have happened if the civil font had developed further and received a Latin counterpart, where the civil type was exported to Europe and began a new style.
