Helvetica: a documentary film
25 April 2007

a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design & global visual culture. the movie looks at the proliferation of 1 typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.
you either already missed it at your local alternative movie festival, but most probably, you had no reasonable chance of seeing it as it has not been shown in your neighborhood yet.
in the meantime, you can watch 4 short youtube clips after the break.
