Saw this earlier today. A short documentary (about an hour long) all about the font Helvetica. I thought it was awesome - really, really interesting, has already made me look at the world around me a little differently. I know there are some graphic designers et al on here, and if you're at all interested in design of any sort don't sleep on this.b, 21b, 21object width="400" height="225"1param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" 21param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" 21param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1574297&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" 21embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1574297&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="225"1/embed1/object1b, 21b, 21b, 21a href="http://www.helveticafilm.com/" target="_blank"1http://www.helveticafilm.com//a1b, 21b, 21 img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/krusty.gif" alt="" 21

    the follow-up, a film about product design, should be bangin' as well.b, 21b, 21img src="http://www.contentdg.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/objectified-b-w4.jpg"1

    It's okay. I was expecting a little bit more. It's available on Netflix's Watch Now.

    watched this earlier this year. good documentary, although a couple of times during their showing helvetica everywhere sequences, they'd show something that WASNT helvetica, and i thought it was funny.

    Fresh.

    Just saw that Robert Rodriguez named a character Helvetica in his new movie Shorts:
