    Never heard of it. I’ve always considered Helvetica as a strictly gothic font.

    Anyways, it’s on myfonts etc and I’m sure could be replicated with a bit of tweaking.

    So is he asking for helvetica roman or just roman?

    Roman typefaces are those that have varying stroke widths, like Times, Perpetua, etc.

    The 2 main varieties of type face are roman and gothic. Roman is as I described above, whereas gothic fonts have a more uniform stroke width, like helvetica.

    Here’s a sample….

    I can’t see how it can be classified as Roman, but that’s what they call it.
