Helvetica Neue is also very close to Helvetica. It is a reworking of the typeface with a more structurally unified set of heights and widths. It was developed at D. Stempel AG, a Linotype subsidiary. Erik Spiekermann was the design consultant and designed the literature for the launch in 1983. It is often said that the digital releases of Helvetica and all its relatives like Swiss 721 lost much of the warm personality of Max Miedinger's shapes and that it is a “one-size-fits-all“ solution.

Chevrons ⟨ ⟩ are often used to enclose highlighted material. Single and double pairs of comparison operators are sometimes used instead of guillemets « » (quotation marks in many languages) when the proper characters are not available.
