Neue Haas Grotesk Collection
Restoration, not reinvention
A restoration of Max Miedinger's original Neue Haas Grotesk, completed for Richard Turley's 2010 Bloomberg Businessweek redesign by Christian Schwartz and Berton Hasebe. The aim was fidelity to Miedinger's shapes and spacing rather than reinterpretation of Helvetica or correction of existing digital versions.

Insights
- Miedinger's original included a cedilla resembling a flattened comma, reflecting Swiss typographic convention of the period.
- A straight-legged R existed in Miedinger's original weights but was available by special order only; the revival makes it readily accessible in digital form.
