+      Helvetica Neue Lt Std is one of the most highly rated and complete
+      fonts of all time. Developed in early 1983, this font has well
+      camouflaged heights and weights. The structure of the word is uniform
+      throughout all the characters.
+
+      The legibility with Helvetica Neue LT Std is said to have improved as
+      opposed to other fonts. The tail of it is much longer in this
+      font. The numbers are well spaced and defined with high accuracy. The
+      punctuation marks are heavily detailed as well.
