Miedinger and Stempel AG/Linotype
This discussion at typophile cites a book by one Robert Norton titled "Types Best Remembered/Types Best Forgotten", in which Dr Peter Karow from URW explains the history of Helvetica, and that Stempel AG (later subsumed into Linotype) did not compensate Miedinger for his work, and by the end of his life, Miedinger was in poor wealth:

I am the designer of the famous Helvetica. I did it in 1957. Now, Stempel earns lots of money with it, but I am out of the game. I feel cheated.

But Max Miedinger died in the late seventies, poor and without glory. -Mardus (talk) 18:05, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

This article on Max Miedinger could be way more detailed. I think it should include How Neue Haas Grotesk typeface effected the rest of the world. What changes it made in society, and what it was used for. Also, pictures of the typefaces could be very useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mariannegrigoli (talk • contribs) 01:08, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

 * I think your off to a good start. You should add more information on Max Miedingers earlier career, maybe how he got into type, more information on Helvetica, Helvetica's influence on graphic design the changes it had made in the design world and how it is still used today. I would also suggest you add some images of Helvetica.
