Then if a Mac user loads your site they see Helvetica Neue, but if they're on another platform they see Franklin.
UPDATE: I discovered a much closer match to Helvetica Neue Condensed Bold is Nimbus Sans Novus D Condensed bold. In fact, it is also derived from Helvetica. You can get it at for $20 (desktop) and $20 (web, 10k pageviews). NOT exploiting the Mac's built in 'NimbusSansNovusDBoldCondensed' at all) because it leads to a design that is more uniform across browsers. Nimbus needs a few extra points to get an identical size match.īuilt in HN and Nimbus Sans are very similar in all respects but point size.
