Helvetica Serif - Finally

FontFont have announced that they are to release Helvetica Serif, following the discovery of drawing of that typeface by Max Miedinger. The sketches which were discovered by Miedinger’s granddaughter have been redrawn to create the digital version shown above. The font has been released today, April 1st. And yes, it's a joke.
