TeX Gyre Heros

TeX Gyre Heros is an extension of the URW Nimbus Sans L typeface — itself a metrically compatible Helvetica substitute — developed and refined by GUST e-foundry. It broadens the original character set with extended Latin coverage and improved OpenType support, making it a reliable open-source neutral grotesque. It serves as a drop-in replacement for Helvetica in professional document workflows.
