Antique Legacy
Hello,
Does anyone know a font called Antique Legacy by Optimo?
Those font is very similar to Helvetica. NIKO (talk) 15:59, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
"Text optical size"
This term needs explanation. "Optical size" is linked from the article (to Font#Optical size) but not the prefix "text". The target says "(regular)": is that what is intended? One or other article needs to be revised. Template:Ping, am I correct in identifying this as your introduction? It doesn't seem an unreasonable one but would need citing, please?

- The names of optical sizes are, to my knowledge, not standardised.
- For instance, Helvetica Now uses "Text", "Micro", and "Display". The page you mentioned (Font#Optical size) lists the optical sizes commonly used by Adobe, "Regular" is conventionally equivalent to "Text" and is usually unspecified (i.e., Garamond Premier Pro Regular is only called "Garamond Premier Pro"). I think that's why it is termed "(Regular)" on that page.
- Going back to your point, I think perhaps Font#Optical size should be edited and include this information (that names of optical sizes are not standardised). Helvetica Now and Neue Haas Grotesk both explicitly use the "Text" label to call their "regular" optical sizes, so I don't think the information on this page is wrong.

Lead section
Should we remove "widely-used" because of undue weight and WP:NPOV. Other "widely used" fonts like Times New Roman. 103.246.79.6 (talk) 00:31, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
Specimen
For the infobox, should we use an image of a specimen of the original Helvetica instead of Helvetica Neue? 64.114 etc 01:33, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
