Helvetica (2007) by Gary
Hustwit. Fascinating documentary about the world's most ubiquitous font, which originated in Switzerland in 1957, and which has dominated typography for fifty years. After a thorough discussion of
Helvetica, what it is and why designers like it, the film examines the reaction against
Helvetica in some sectors -- and how the advent of computers has made it possible for individuals to design their own fonts.
Grade: A-
