The regular, medium and bold weights know no boundaries and the heavy and black designs are ideal for when typography needs to be powerful and commanding. The family’s lighter weights are perfect for headlines and other large settings, as well as small blocks of copy at typical text sizes. Toshi Omagari of Monotype Studio has given this classic a fresh, digital facelift with more weights, more languages and more letters to meet today’s digital and print needs.Īvailable in 18 styles, the Neue Haas Unica family is remarkably appropriate for a wide range of applications, possessing a delicate gradation of weights and clear character shapes. Originally released in 1980 by the Haas Type Foundry and designed by Team ’77 - André Gürtler, Erich Gschwind and Christian Mengelt- for phototypesetting technology of the day, the design was never successfully updated for today’s digital environments – until now.
The Neue Haas Unica™ family is an extended, reimagined version of the Haas Unica® design, a Helvetica® alternative that achieved near mythical status in the type community before it virtually disappeared.
