{"product_id":"helvetica-forever","title":"Helvetica forever: Story of a Typeface","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis new paperback edition of \"Helvetica Forever\" traces the typeface’s first fifty years. Designed in 1957, Helvetica quickly became a defining emblem of Swiss graphic design and a model for clear, functional communication worldwide. Its perceieved neutral form purposefully resists overt expression – a restraint that has made it both admired and contested, securing its lasting cultural presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis now-classic volume situates the evolution of Helvetica alongside other seminal sans serif designs of the twentieth century and examines the forces behind its remarkable global reach. The publication draws on the legacy and archives of Alfred Hoffmann, former director of the Haas Type Foundry where Helvetica was developed in collaboration with Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom signage and corporate identity to editorial design and ephemeral print, the book reveals the many contexts in which Helvetica has shaped visual culture and demonstrates how a seemingly neutral typeface became one of the most influential design tools of the modern era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 160\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 175 x 240 mm\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Softcover\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2026\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Lars Müller Publishers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lars Müller Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42526331502677,"sku":"LMHS1847","price":9020.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/5749\/files\/1_d22eac0a-34ed-48aa-86fe-fbe0b573cb4e.jpg?v=1780053001","url":"https:\/\/www.northeastshop.jp\/en\/products\/helvetica-forever","provider":"North East","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
