Neue Haas Grotesk was published between 1957 to 1958 by Max Miedinger, for Haas’sche Schriftgiesserei of Switzerland, with art direction from Eduard Hoffmann as the chief of the company. New Haas Grotesk was born as a reaction to British and German Grotesques that has become so popular due to their use in the functionalist Swiss typography. It was later changed and was released by Linotype AG as Helvetica type of fonts. As Linotype Helvetica it can be said that it is a radical modification of Neue Haas Grotesk because Linotype’s hot metal linecasters demanded changes while Neue Haas Grotesk was only slightly changed for use on them.
