I was browsing forums from 2002,and found a discussion on attempted helvetica revivals. I was interested to find out how I could get my hands on these digital or hardcopy. Esp. interested in Helvetica Flair.

Thanks

You actually want Helvetica Flair? I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I first came across it. It's definitely a product of its time...

thought it would be an interesting piece of type history, might be good for some experimental ... experiments.

I interviewed the designer of Helvetica Flair, Phil Martin, last year on Typographica:

The subject did come up and Phil seemed a little nonplussed by my interest.
