Neue Helvetica

Neue Helvetica, also known as Helvetica Neue is a font that was developed by by Swiss typeface designer Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann at D. Stempel AG, a Linotype subsidiary, in 1983.

The font family is made up of 51 fonts including nine weights in three widths (8 in normal width, 9 in condensed, and 8 in extended width variants) as well as an outline font based on Helvetica 75 Bold Outline (no Textbook or rounded fonts are available).

IBM
IBM used Helvetica Neue as its corporate typeface until 2017, spending over $1 million annually on licensing fees. It switched in 2017 to the custom IBM Plex family, concluding that a custom open-source typeface would be more distinctive and practical, as it could be freely distributed and installed without rights issues.

iOS and macOS
iOS used first Helvetica then Helvetica Neue as its system font. All releases of macOS prior to OS X Yosemite used Lucida Grande as the system font. The version of Helvetica Neue used as the system font in OS X 10.10 is specially optimised; Apple's intention is to provide a consistent experience for people who use both iOS and OS X. Apple replaced Helvetica Neue with the similarly looking San Francisco in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan.
