On Wikipedia website it says “ the uppercase and lowercase C and the uppercase G, J, R and Q. Aside from the subtle differences in these individual letters, Miedinger's primary change to Akzidenz-Grotesk is Helvetica's higher x-height, the distance from the baseline to the height of the lowercase letter x. The general effect is that Helvetica appears more oblong while Akzidenz-Grotesk maintains circular counters and bowls.” As a result, both Helvetica and Akzidenz Grotesk is one of the...

...the words visually attractive and effective” (Baines and Haslam, 2005). One particular style that has left an enormous mark in the history of typography is the international typographic style and it is still utilised for a lot of contemporary design work. This particular style has its roots formed by the modernist movement that started a few decades before it emerged. The style was later called The International Typographic style because it was mainly built on the use of typography. There are two typefaces that are the big stars of the Swiss style, the so called “Sans Serif Twins”, Univers and Helvetica. Both of them gained huge popularity among typographers right after their emergence and up to date they are still one of the most favorable typefaces in the world. How can that be possible? How can typefaces designed half a century ago still be used in contemporary practice? Both Helvetica and Univers are special in their own way. Univers was designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1954 in Paris and...

[edit] Characteristics Univers is one of a group of neo-grotesque sans-serif typefaces, all released in 1957,[2] that includes Folio and Neue Haas Grotesk (later renamed Helvetica). These three faces are sometimes confused with each other, because each is based on the 1898 typeface Akzidenz-Grotesk. These typefaces figure prominently in the Swiss Style of graphic design. Different weights and variations within the type family are designated by the use of numbers rather than names, a system since adopted by Frutiger for other type designs. Frutiger envisioned a large family with multiple widths and weights that maintained a unified design idiom. However, the actual typeface names within Univers family include...
