Helony’s flexibility makes it a favorite among designers for a wide range of applications:
✘ Lacks extensive non-Latin script support (no Arabic, CJK, Devanagari)
✘ Can appear generic if overused (similar to many modern sans-serifs)
✘ Some versions missing optical size axis, causing poor display at extreme sizes
✘ Free versions are often incomplete or unlicensed
