It has pretty much become a font class nowadays, but there are sans serif fonts in Photoshop that will do the trick.Rate this post Helvetica Fonts Free Download For Windows I was excited when TypeKit was introduced, but later became disillusioned when I realised how many useful fonts were no longer available with CC. Getting back to your question, Photoshop used to have a range of Swiss type faces that could have been used for the sort of banner headline applications Helvetica is associated with, but that has also gone.īickham Script Pro, for instance, is a font used by one of my wine producing clients, so I was not impressed when that disappeared after CS6. I went as far as emailing the TypeKit team about it a while back, and was fobbed off with a meaningless reply. If you have a pre CC version of CS6 installed, then you will have the old fonts. It still annoyed me deeply that I had to go to that much trouble! In my case I had CS6 installed on my laptop, so was able to copy and transfer the font files to my desktop. The last time we were asked about Helvetica, I did some investigating, and came away no better off than before I started. Wikipedia's Helvetica page on the font is remarkably light on graphic content.
Trevor, compare the G and the R in your Helvetica and Arial examples. They look nothing alike!Īnd then look at the a and the r and the t in your next example. Not even close! The e is close, but the second is wider. When I started in this business, fonts were hard-wired into the printer. My first PostScript printer also came with a card that went in the computer. There were 13 Adobe Postscript fonts, and if you wanted more they had to be purchased. But if you used one of the 13, you were paying for an exact match with what the print shop had. So 2K for the printer and another 2K for the Postscript boards. Helvetica was one of the 13 Adobe PostScript fonts.Īrial did not come out until TrueType, many years later. It is a spin-off, a knock-off, an imitation of the very good PostScript Helvetica for people unwilling to pay for the original. The same goes for Times New Roman (TT), being an imitation of the PostScript font Times. That's why I refuse to use Arial and Times New Roman, and was glad when even Microsoft stopped using them and came up with Calibri and Cambria.
I would not use those for professional printing, but I use them in Office documents, as I know most people will have them and it won't change on another computer. Helvetica and Helvetica Neue are not the same! This site shows the difference:ĭid you watch the awesome movie Helvetica?
