===Helvetica Narrow===
Helvetica Narrow is a version where its width is between Helvetica Compressed and Helvetica Condensed. This computer font was developed when memory space in electronic printers was very scarce, so it was created by mathematically squashing Helvetica to 82% of the original width, resulting in distorted letterforms, with vertical strokes narrowed but horizontals unchanged.<ref name="The Call of the Wide">{{cite web|last1=Felici|first1=James|title=The Call of the Wide|url=https://creativepro.com/call-wide/|website=Creative Pro|date=15 April 2010|access-date=29 April 2018|archive-date=9 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210609170738/https://creativepro.com/call-wide/|url-status=live}}</ref> Because of the distortion problems, Adobe dropped Helvetica Narrow in its release of Helvetica in [[OpenType]] format, recommending users choose Helvetica Condensed instead.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/T1_to_OTF_FAQ.htm |title=Type 1 ("PostScript") to OpenType font conversion |publisher=Adobe |access-date=2009-06-08 |archive-date=2009-01-23 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090123225325/http://www.adobe.com/type/opentype/T1_to_OTF_FAQ.htm |url-status=live }}</ref>
