And it was really, really interesting.
Helvetica, a movie about a font (oh but it’s so much more than that) was great. It’s a film about design, typography, design culture, creativity… the list goes on and on. It most definitely speaks volumes about the difficulty and skill that is involved in making a font. There is a good bit of generational commentary as well; computers and their role in design, what the younger generations are doing with fonts.
Overall, if you’re a designer, and want to get a 360 degree view of a font that you see (or use) often, as well as get some insight from some great designers and fontographers… check it out. Worthwhile, no doubt.
