Helvetica: A Documentary Film by Gary Hustwit
As a keen typographer, designer and admirer of the Helvetica typeface, I thought it was about time I gave it a mention on my blog. I have yet to actually see the Helvetica Film, but it’s high on my to do list! Check out the trailer below, it looks really interesting, well… from a graphic designers perspective anyway.
“Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.”
