Quotes:
David Carson: Don't confuse legibility with communication. Just because something is legible doesn't mean it communicates and, more importantly, doesn't mean it communicates the right thing. moreFAQ

Helvetica, do you know? Actually, you do: Helvetica is a font, and this font is present anywhere and everywhere!
How to make 80 minutes-long documentary on a font? By combining reports from cities around the world and interviews with designers, this film tells the story of the Helvetica, since its Swiss origins, 50 years ago, to its multiple present uses.
With a perfect sense of rhythm, the film is served by a splendid image. The interviews are brilliant, with a pinch of humour. Also to note, a special mention goes for the music, especially composed for the film and based on the theme "Helvetica".
95 minutes of bonus provide extra details.
In conclusion, simply brilliant!
