Typography

Our Primary Typeface

The original Helvetica a.k.a. Neue Haas Grotesk.

Neue Haas Grotesk  was designed by Christian Schwartz to reclaim what Helvetica lost over the years in personality and subtle warmth due to technological trends.

Over the decades, we changed too. We’ve become more global and professional, but we’re determined to hold on to our original warmth and joy.

The Neue Haas Grotesk font is a timeless typeface. It has substance and innate brilliance, and it allows the text to visually radiate so our thinking can shine.

Accessibility test

Accessibility tests, like the Adobe Contrast Checker, help us fine-tune font choices to make sure our text is legible for readers with low vision and/or color blindness. That’s why as a best-practice we ask ourselves the following: Does the font color show up well on a specific background? Is the font size large enough to be read with ease? Is the font style too stylized to be understood?
