Neue Haas Grotesk has been around for at least a decade - why now on HN?

  I was wondering the same. I am familiar with it because we use NHG as our company font, but didn’t know that it was widely known.

  10 years isn’t that long, I’m sure it’s still new to a lot of people

    According to the history on the website it's been around since the '50s. I came across it for the first time earlier this year and used it on a project. I really like it, but lack the vocabulary to explain why.

      It’s a re-tracing of the original Helvetica plates. That effort itself is very recent, so as far as digital type goes, it’s very new.

  Yes, can this have a (2011) added to the title? (That's the copyright on the footer of the page, anyways.) I thought this was some new announcement at first glance.
