Helvetica Movie

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.

It’s now released on a DVD that includes the full 80-minute feature film and over 90 minutes of additional interviews with people like Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, Erik Spiekermann and Hermann Zapf. I recently watched the documentary and its amazing. I do recommend everyone to watch it, not just designers!
