Heltar

Heltar: a modern neo-grotesque typeface born from the legacy of Helvetica and refined for the digital age. Drawing inspiration from The Designers Republic’s treatment of Helvetica and the improvements of Hass Unica, Heltar strikes a balance between homage and innovation. Its meticulously crafted letterforms boast optical precision and subtle corrections, ensuring readability and rhythm even under close tracking. But Heltar isn’t just about the past; it’s also about the future. By incorporating ink-traps for a stylised, machine-like aesthetic, Heltar speaks to industries at the cutting edge of technology, making it ideal for brands in manufacturing and tech seeking a sleek, futuristic vibe.

The font includes over 650 characters, eight weights, and obliques for versatile typography. It boasts fourteen number variations, alternate characters (I, R, a, g, l), and unique glyphs like arrows, circled, and squared numbers. It also has extensive language support encompassing Western, South, and Central Europe—remastered to version 2.0 for enhanced OpenType features and usability.
