Alternative font

a. Not able to buy/use Neue Hass Grotesk

If, for any reason, it is not possible to acquire the Neue Haas Grotesk font, then Standard Helvetica should be used as an alternative.

Example of alternative font: As Neue Haas Grotesk does not feature any Cyrillic characters, Helvetica should be used as the replacement font when required.

b. Extended requirements due to new PPE regulations

The new PPE regulations require to add further languages in user manuals and other projects (e.g. declarations of confirmity, product data sheets, hangtags, etc.). To fit more characters into the same space it is necessary to use a different font. In this case Arial Unicode MS in 9pt.
