Helvetica: The Movie

When I saw this on Netflix, I not only signed up asap, but put this movie at the top of my cue.

Yes, it's a documentary showing designers wax poetical about Helvetica.

Yes, it was great. A wonderful, typo-geeky night. I highly recommend.

Interestingly, I am likely reading your hunnyhouse post in that same Helvetica font. That's like pointing the video camera right into the TV.

Whoa.

So, were there any cameo appearances from other fonts? A scene from Times New Roman, perhaps? :)

Hahaha good one Sabrina!

Kris, maybe you can confirm. I heard Ariel is always trying to steal the parts from Helvetica. And then Garamond slips on to the set and wants to play the town Serif in the Western. Zapf! What a dingbat.

Then Comic Sans and Wingdings come in and ruin it all.
