There are at least three ways to approach this: Some letters aren't rendering well on Chrome on Windows.The vertical alignment is different between Chrome on Windows and Chrome on Mac OSX causing a misalignment with the title icons.The biggest among them is that Helvetica Neue does not work well on all Windows browsers. The move from Verdana in the new EBI Visual Framework has largely been a big success, however there is still work to be done. However, if you're looking for something that's more of a cousin than a brother or son, they might fit the bill.This repo - somewhat confusingly - also contain the typeface we need for EMBL-EBI "brand compliance": Helvetica Neue. News/Trade Gothic are grotesques as well, but they're not Swiss in nature, so I don't think they're true alternatives. I've not ever used this one personally but it looks great and is a robust font set.ĭalton Maag made their own version (apparently out of a love for Univers and a hatred for Helvetica, as this Creative Review article details) called Aktiv Grotesk:įinally, one more I wanted to add in is Akzidenz Grotesk - it's sort of the father of Helvetica so it's worthy of inclusion (BQ version shown below, available here): If you would like a paid alternative, try Neue Haas Grotesk:
It also comes with a Condensed and Slab variant as well. And, it looks great on a screen, which isn't always the case with OSX's Helveticas. Here's a comparison between the two - to be clear, this is Google's Helvetica, and while I still prefer the original, this is a nice alternative. If you want a free alternative that's pretty robust, try Roboto: Also, it is best to get a visual comparison between fonts if possible (e.g. There have been questions about free alternatives to Helvetica and also similar fonts to Helvetica Neue, but the answers were based on available fonts from at least a couple years ago and I would like to know if there have been changes or new fonts since. This was the response, Michael Lai gave me: I (Ryan, whom is editing this) asked what is meant by dated. Please include a visual example if possible, and include some reasons why each font would be a good choice I'm after a smallish number of well-thought-out suggestions, and definitely not a bare list. a single story 'a' or distinctly different 'g'. I guess I'm looking for something that will be a close match in most of its shapes but will have enough points of difference to make people (OK, other designers) wonder what I've used. I'd like to use something similar-but-different for my poster project.
