And Asmodee doesnt just own Ticket to Ride, it also owns Settlers of Catan - a consolidation of newer board-game companies has also taken place. Helvetica Now 2.0 is, quite simply, more: more versatility more power and more creative possibilities. As for CG Triumvirate, apparently Agfa has now cleansed itself of font piracy, and has left that typeface in Monotypes hands after divesting itself of Monotype. The new Condensed weights put more type into smaller spaces-for intense emphasis, sophisticated contrast, or just everyday space-fitting. There’s also an extensive set of alternates, which allow designers the opportunity to experiment with and adapt Helvetica’s tone of voice. Helvetica Now’s Micro designs are simplified and exaggerated to maintain the impression of Helvetica in tiny type. Consisting of 48 fonts and three optical sizes, Helvetica Now was created to end the need for designers to manually adjust any weight or version. The larger Display versions are drawn to show off the subtlety of Helvetica and spaced with headlines in mind, while the Text sizes focus on legibility, using robust strokes and comfortably loose spaces.
