Here is Helvetica and behind it is my custom typeface ‘Helvetica Neuest’ see what I did there?If you read my post the other day it explained I wanted to make a new Helvetica font with some adjustments pretty much for hipsters. {apart of my project.. not an actual concern}I printed out the Helvetica font and using my light box I traced it out about 4-5 times but with each trace (layer) it became slightly different and more to what I was aiming for and finally I stuck with the one I got at the moment as I didn’t want it to stray too far away from helvetica.The type itself is a lot skinnier, the bar/arms/horizontal lines have been lifted and counters have been shrunk which all work together to give it the look it has ended up with.favorite letters are… lowercase: y, g, t, k, £Also going to be available to download and use within the next few days hopefully
