Because of the rise of desktop publishing software and an ownership dispute, the typeface disappeared very soon from the market. The result was a hybrid of mainly Helvetica and Univers, which gave it the name Unica (a portmanteau of Univers and Helvet ica), but they incorporated also features of other typefaces, like Akzidenz-Grotesk.

The task was given to Team ’77 (André Gürtler, Christian Mengelt and Erich Gschwind). During the 1970s Haas decided to introduce an updated version of Helvetica for electronic on-screen phototypesetting. Neue Haas Grotesk) and Univers were from then on held by the same company. The latter was the holder of the copyright of the Univers. In 1972 the now defunct Haas Type Foundry (Switzerland) bought its french competitor Deberny & Peignot. In 2015, two digital revivals were released: one by the rights holders, and the other with the blessing of the team that originally developed it. Initiated as a project that sought to combine the strengths of both Helvetica and Univers, it had the misfortune of being released for phototypesetting just as the technology was being made obsolete by desktop publishing, and subsequent corporate mergers and a copyright dispute kept a digital version off the market. Unica or Haas Unica is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface developed at Haas Type Foundry in the late 1970s and originally released in 1980.
