Neue Helvetica Bold

Really? Its coming out too thick for my liking. Medium is more the weight?

It is Neue Helvetica Bold, absolutely.

Look here or here.

Ok thanks Jan - I’ll persevere. :)

Helvetica Neue 65 Medium
enjoy ;)

NO. It’s freaking NOT Helvetica 65 Medium.
Look at the lc ‘a’.

left: 65 (medium)
right: 75 (bold)

So what?

It is for sure bold... the tail of the lc ’a’ flips out in medium, but terminates facing down in bold...

“Really? Its coming out too thick for my liking.

That’s because the left sample is light text on dark background which makes it look heavier. See what happens when you invert this.

Just one more reason it’s bold ;^)
