Helvetica: The Movie

I never thought anybody would make a movie about a font!
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Helvetica, a documentary is being released.
The movie promises to examine the world of typography, graphic design and global visual culture.
The Helvetica Movie is being directed by the Producer of the Moog Documentary and the Wilco Docementary, and will feature a boatload of interviews with people who are superstars in the graphic design-world. (Stefan Sagmeister, Tobias Frere-Jones, Jonathan Hoefler and Erik Speikermann, to name a few.)

Helvetica (and its bastard cousin Arial) are like the cosmic microwave background radiation of the typographic universe, it's so ubiquitous, you hardly notice it. It's nice to see someone pointing it out!
Helvetica: The Movie!
