Hi,

Just wondering if anyone can please recommend a close alternative to Helvetica Neue on Google Web Fonts please? Open Sans seems close, but we're needing a fairly light (300) weight font, and we're wondering if there are any other alternatives you can recommend please?

Thank you.

VWD.

Helvetica should be available with the free plan at http://webfonts.fonts.com/

Different in detail, but at least it has a decent light cut: http://www.google.com/webfonts/specimen/Lato

Thanks for pointing out that option Riccard0.

Thanks Birdseeding - that is a good option.

Why not use a Helvetica version that is free for everybody?
