Gerard Unger在1984年至1987年間開發瞭Swift™，目的是為報紙創作一款現代數字字體。該項目為德國Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH公司而創作的。當時，報紙是用低質量的紙張在高速印刷機上制作的。Unger說，Swift被設計成適合報紙印刷的字體。它有厚實的三角形襯線，節點處有堅實的連接，有開放字懷的窄體字形，以及x-字高很高。
William A. Dwiggins（1880-1956）的作品對Unger設計Swift起到瞭主要的影響作用。Dwiggins是Mergenthaler Linotype的一名美國字體設計師，早在1930年，他就專註於為報紙印刷設計的可替代字體的易讀性。Swift已成為當代的經典之作，現在更多地用於企業標識和雜志。Swift簡潔、堅定、新穎，幾乎適用於任何用途。Swift™Pro是OpenType版本，包括從細到超粗體的一傢族樣式和字重。
1990年，Linotype AG與Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH合並，成立瞭Linotype-Hell AG（今天的Linotype GmbH）。從那以後，Linotype就成為瞭最初為Hell公司設計的所有字體的官方來源。Linotype還利用包括OpenType在內的新技術改進瞭字體。
Gerard Unger developed Swift™ between 1984 and 1987, with the intention of making a modern digital type for newspapers. The project was undertaken for the German firm Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH. At that time, newspapers were produced on high-speed presses with low quality paper. Unger says Swift is designed to be a survivor." It has chunky triangular serifs, sturdy connections at junctures, condensed forms with open counters, and a tall x-height. The work of William A. Dwiggins (1880-1956) was Unger’s major design influence for Swift. Dwiggins was a American type designer for Mergenthaler Linotype who, as early as 1930, was focusing on legibility in the design of alternative fonts for newspaper printing. Swift has become a contemporary classic, and is now used more often for corporate identities and magazines than for newspapers. Austere and concise, firm and original, Swift is a typeface suited to almost any purpose. Swift™ Pro is the OpenType version, and includes a full range of styles and weights from light to extra bold.
In 1990, Linotype AG merged with Dr.-Ing Rudolf Hell GmbH, forming the Linotype-Hell AG (today Linotype GmbH). Since then, Linotype has been the official source of all fonts that were originally designed for the Hell Corporation. Linotype has also improved the typefaces using new technologies, including OpenType."
