Which member of the Helvetica family is most popular?

Which member of the Helvetica family is most popular? 95 Black? 107 Extra Black Condensed?

Other?

I realize it depends on use specific, but when Helvetica is casually/generally mentioned which member of Helvetica readily comes to mind?

Thanks in advance.

Medium

I see a lot more Helvetica Bold than any other weight.

Great stuff, thank you!

Neue 65 Medium
Neue 75 Bold

gotcha :)

I'm assuming that the less rounded condensed versions are far less notable/popular?

Aside from 65 and 75, Neue Ultralight is really popular, too.

Thanks!

I think I've seen that in use quit a bit throughout the fashion industry. The mention of Ultralight (and now I'm also thinking it's Thin cousin too) might just be another way I'm going to go with my designs for some old skool bling knuckle jewelry.

My Helvetica knuckle jewelry designs originally I had gem stone fill set inside the letter shapes of 75 Bold or Std Black, but now I'll also do one with gem stones going around Ultralight/Light or even 33Thin letter shapes.

Helvetica knuckle jewelry coming soonish like.

Thanks again :)

I don't know which member of the family is most popular, but clearly cousin Jethro Helvetica is the black sheep: one hardly ever hears anything about him.

Neue 65 Medium

Actually, I meant this one:
