- Renaud 13y agoHighly recommended. Very interesting documentary about the origins of the type, it's use, those who love it, those who do not.
- normloman 13y agoFeel free to skip this movie. It's mostly old white dudes gushing about how great helvetica is.
- alayne 13y agoThe "old white dudes" of course being many of the top type designers in the world including Hermann Zapf who dislikes Helvetica, Spiekermann, and many others.
- normloman 13y agoDoesn't matter how famous the designers are. It's still just a typeface. And the people in the movie are getting worked up over it.
