COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The interaction of medium and message submitted by cherylo on July 22, 2012, 2:11pm An interesting look into the rarefied field of design. For a more comprehensive survey of typeface design, try the book Just My Type, A Book About Fonts, a great complement to this focused critique of the ubiquitous Helivetica. The diversity of designers involved in discussing the subject is impressive. Design geeks will enjoy the spareness and plainness of the production that mirror the typeface that is its subject.

enjoyed it! submitted by fairytale on July 27, 2012, 6:50pm I really enjoyed this movie and found all the various viewpoints about this font very interesting. I liked finding out the history of Helvetica as well. Great!
