Helvetica Font Alternatives
Helvetica may be a legend in the history of graphic design, but let’s be honest—it’s a print-era dinosaur. Originally designed for offset printing in the mid-20th century, Helvetica struggles to perform on today’s digital screens, especially at smaller sizes. That’s why even Apple, one of Helvetica’s most high-profile users, moved away from it early in the iPhone’s life cycle—opting instead to design their own typeface better suited for modern UI environments. If you're working on screen-first projects like mobile apps, responsive websites, or social media content, there's no reason to rely on a typeface that was never meant for pixels.
This curated set of Helvetica alternatives is made for today’s workflows—whether you're building in Figma, prototyping in Adobe XD, or animating in After Effects. These fonts carry forward Helvetica’s clarity and neutrality, but with improved legibility, more flexible weights, and performance that’s optimized for screens, not paper. Best of all, they’re available with clear, affordable licensing—no subscriptions, no inflated pricing structures, and no guesswork.
At YouWorkForThem, we’ve been working with top-tier type for over 25 years. We’ve seen trends evolve and technology reshape how designers choose and use fonts. These Helvetica-style alternatives give you what the original can’t: screen-optimized clarity, modern design sensibility, and licensing built for real-world use. Explore our full collection today and discover why global brands like Nike, Apple, and Amazon trust YouWorkForThem for their type needs—without overpaying for a legacy font that no longer fits the future.
