I watched this last night on a public access tevelvision station. Being someone who has always enjoyed graphic design, typefaces are something I find intriguing. This documentary on Helvetica covers the history of the typeface, and interviews the designers who used it a lot in the 1960s when it first became popular, the designers of the 1970s who chose hand-drawn fonts as a way to battle Helvetica and it's sorporate users, the grunge typographers of the 80s, and then back to the young designers of today who think Helvetica is somewhat nostalgic. The entire thing got me thinking about why I love Helvetica, and I have come to the conclusion that nostalgia is why I love it too. It reminds me of the ads in my mom's old Women's Day magazines. Altogether very informative.
Highly recommended for documentary and graphic design fans, but I think anyone could enjoy it.
