Around 1800 (one hundred years ahead of Helvetica and Univers) the very first Sans Serif typefaces to include things like lowercase letters applied to have pretty High Contrast (the distinction between thick and thin lines). Maybe because the had been derived from the additional traditional serif typefaces from the time.
