Last weekend I spend some time watching the movie Helvetica by Gary Hustwit, I gotta tell ya, this movie rocks big time!! The movie tells the story about a Font-type called Helvetica. You got to be a lover of Fonts to appreciate the movie I guess, but when you are that type of person, I highly recommend the film!! I am not going into the storyline of the movie here, but I bet ya, you didn’t know all the brands that use Helvetica.
Also:
- Helvetica comes as a standard Font on the Mac
- Windows uses a ripoff font called Arial
- The music in this movie is totally awesome!!!
- The movie is filmed on different locations such as New York, Amsterdam, Berlin e.d.
- Helvetica stands for helvetia, which is the old name for Switserland
- The are some cool trailers you can watch here
- And the film is for sale in the iTunes Store.
