These fonts were created by tracing over the Helvetica font with different textures. Said textures included toothpaste, tomato paste and hair gel. Fancy!
for their project ‘fresh fonts’ the dutch collective autobahn drew the typeface helvetica using
toothpaste, tomato ketchup and hair gel. they then used these experiments to create the
digital typefaces ‘heldentica’ , ‘tomatica’ and ‘gelvetica’, which you can now download for
free from autobahn’s site.
