Is there a distressed Helvetica Font

anonymous

I am looking for a font that has a distressed look, similar to confidential but shaped more like Helvetica.
I have heard there is a new family similar to this, does anyone have any ideas what it is called and where I could purchase it?
Thanks!!!

Jill you might also look into is using your standard Helvetica and get a copy of Machine Wash by Mr. Retro. What it does is creates a layer mask in photoshop with its distressed look options. That the beauty of it because it doesn't actually destroy the type. So when your client changes a word, no problem.

Smelvetica might be one alternative.
