Helvetica Film
I just got finished watching Helvetica, a documentary about the typeface. I wish I could write something informative to you about the film, but I’m feeling kinda out-of-it so to speak (hung over). What I liked about the film was being able to connect the names of famous designers to a profile. The film interviews a lot of famous typographers and designers about Helvetica, and although I could care less about the font, I liked hearing their opinions. For instance, I’ve heard of Hoefler & Frere-Jones and have known they design fonts, but actually seeing them and hearing from Jonathan Hoefler and Tobias Frere-Jones makes me feel like I know them more. So if you’re interested in typography or design, watch it!
