So Microsoft's TrueType deal with Apple didn't include the Helvetica TrueType font(s) that Apple included with macOS?
Apple's Geneva seems to be another take on Helvetica, though designed to match the Mac's original bitmap font.
- WillAdams 1y agoNo, since Apple had to license the design/trademark rights from Monotype. Geneva is a quite different design as evinced by the result of Bigelow & Holmes vector interpretation.
- musicale 1y agoBitmap New York and Geneva are beautiful - I get the chance to admire them (along with the rest of the original Mac's bitmap desktop interface) every day via the "Macintosh" dynamic wallpaper included with macOS. We may have many more pixels now, but modern Apple could do better at getting the visual details right for its modern UI designs.
