"This font gives designers the firepower they need – from greater creative freedom to typographic expression – to produce exquisitely fine-tuned typography and expressive, animated headlines. "The incredibly positive reception to Helvetica Now makes us proud to build upon this time-tested design even further," said Charles Nix, Creative Type Director at Monotype. The variable format gives Helvetica Now users access to cutting-edge typography with design flexibility and expression, both in static instances and in dynamic applications, plus greater novelty, choice and improved digital performance.

The Helvetica Now Variable Font builds on Monotype’s 2019 re-design and release of Helvetica Now to empower designers to blend weights (hairline to extra black), optimal sizes (four-point to infinity), and new compressed and condensed widths for more design freedom and unlimited typographic expressions. Helvetica Now still preserves the typeface’s Swiss mantra of clarity, simplicity, and neutrality, while giving you all the options you need for your typographic work.
Every single glyph of the iconic Helvetica typeface has been redrawn and redesigned in order to update it for the demands of contemporary design and branding. Helvetica Now is one of today’s most versatile fonts. So it’s no surprise that Monotype has finally launched Helvetica Now as a variable font.
In other words, they give you all the freedom to focus on your design without worrying about page speed or fixed font widths and weights. While traditional font formats require multiple files for multiple variations, variable fonts package all the necessary DNA into one tidy, more compact file to save space and time, eliminating a significant constraint on web designers and developers. In the past few years, we experienced a growing demand for variable fonts. Monotype launched ‘Helvetica Now’ as Variable Font.
