Watch Helvetica
(2007)synopsis
Helvetica is a documentary directed by independent filmmaker Gary Hustwit about how Helvetica went from a Swiss typing factory to the world. Initially, Helvetica's clean but unobtrusive features were favored by many corporate stores. The 70s changed the typography and became more fashionable so that it is acceptable to young people. Now, this typeface is becoming more and more common and has become a symbol of industrialization.
