On Netflix streaming. No joke, fascinating movie about, wait for it, a font.

It's bizarre how much the font Helvetica is used around the world, makes me think of the font choices mentioned in books.

Didn't realize that Helvetica is from the late 1950s, I think they said 1958 and it's from the Suisse style.

gives a 1.25 = Swiss design + type designers + Amsterdam.

"A life of a designer is a life of fight--fight against the ugliness. Just like a doctor fights against disease. For us, visual disease is what we have around, and what we try to do is cure it... more

"A life of a designer is a life of fight--fight against the ugliness. Just like a doctor fights against disease. For us, visual disease is what we have around, and what we try to do is cure it, somehow, with design."

Fine line between powerful and boring

finally watching this documentary. so fascinating so far.

Just finished it. Pretty enjoyable, made me respect Helvetica a little more. The font has a nice backstory.

First movie I've rented from iTunes.

a great documentary i havent seen since '07

This is always a good mental cool down from design class....

"Type is saying things to us all the time. Typefaces express a mood, an atmosphere. They give words a certain coloring." ~Rick Poynor

And now I will learn more about a font than any person should probably know.

Como dicen los wannabe: "¡Este docu es un #must!"

"You can't do better design with the computer but you can definately speed up the process alot"

It takes a special kind of people... LOL

When in the block, watch something inspiring.

For being about type, it wasn't nearly as boring as it sounds

Finally getting around to watching Helvetica in its entirety.

I'm such a type geek!

A movie about a typeface ... Geeky things I do after the kids go to bed.

What else is there to do on a Sunday night with no football than watch a documentary about a font.

I really enjoyed this documentary! I have always loved typography, especially Helvetica; I now see the importance of using Helvetica and the importance of NOT using Helvetica :)

Just my type of film. Get it? Type?

30 times watching this, never gets boring #sweet

Yep, I'm watching a movie about typeface. Don't hate!

Starting my day off right watching HELVETICA!!! Yee! Lol ^_^

Thinking of making a documentary on Comic Sans. Need inspiration.

After catching up on Mad Men it only seemed fitting to watch this and Art&Copy again.

My teacher should be so proud. :)
