Review of Helvetica (2007) by Brian T — 21 Nov 2007
Who knew that an innocuous typeface could spark so much passion? A great documentary that delves into the history of the most recognizeable font in the world, as well as interviews several designers of different stripes, all of whom have very strong opinions both pro- and anti-Helvetica.
Really makes you appreciate the aesthetic, psychological, and even political impact the design of letters can have. Kind of like "Trekkies" for the design set, only taking its subjects much more seriously.
Splendid!
