Helvetica - A Documentary film by Gary Hustwit

Posted by john at Apr 17, 2008 11:05 PM |

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.
