Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.

"This’s a documentary about Helvetica typeface. It showcases the type history and is full of different opinions of it from both experts and amateurs. Although still ubiquitous as it was when it came out in the 1950s, It’s becoming less and less everyone’s favourite. Liked this and would recommend. "

"One of my all time favorite documentaries. Who knew there was so much to say about a typeface. You'll never look at any sign or ad the same way again!"
