Who knew there could be such rich, controversial opinions about a typeface designed in 1958? The now ubiquitous Helvetica lettering is a main subject of the current documentary of the same name. The film touches on politics, design history, advertising, and capitalism. Jeff and I thoroughly enjoyed the dry humor and visual impact of this film.We saw it at the NW Film Forum in Seattle, but it may be on DVD too.

Yes it is on DVD - I have it thanks to Netflix...however, I have yet to watch it! My bf keeps reminding me, "hey don't forget to watch your font movie!"
