Font Bureau has created this wonderful mini-site all about the excellent typeface Neue Haas Grotesk. It explains the history of the face, along with a nice section on its features and what makes it different from Helvetica. An instant valuable resource.
this is great. after you see the redesigned italics, the helvetica neue italic looks like shit haha. i particularly have always prefered my grotesks with the straight-legged R. this is definitely a must have for anyone who’d like to invest in some quality type. neue haas only loses to akzidenz-grotesk because of ag’s minuscle “a”, capital Q and the number “2”.
And, its only $600.

$600? Good grief.
