"A -" -- Entertainment Weekly Changing the world, one letter at a time… 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. Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day. Interviewees in Helvetica include some of the most illustrious and innovative names in the design world, including Erik Spiekermann, Matthew Carter, Massimo Vignelli, Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapf, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, David Carson, Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones, Experimental Jetset, Michael C. Place, Norm, Alfred Hoffmann, Mike Parker, Bruno Steinert, Otmar Hoefer, Leslie Savan, Rick Poynor, Lars Muller, and many more Special Features 95 minutes of bonus interviews English and German subtitles Review: Why not Helvetica? - Weather you use the font or not, love the font or hate it, you will learn to appreciate modern typography more by watching "Helvetica". I thoroughly enjoyed the documentary and shared it with my graphic design students, many of whom bought their own copies. Typographic liberties taken in the film do not lessen the impact of a funny, quirky, fast paced look at the major tool of graphic designers-type. Great way to introduce students to contemporary designers and their thoughts about typography. Can't wait for Objectified!!! Review: Love Helvetica, Hate Helvetica...See Helvetica - The historical significance of the typeface as well as the on-going evolution of typography make this a must see for anyone interested in typography and graphic design, but also a fine entertainment for film enthusiasts. Compelling interviews with notable professionals are informative, witty and often hilarious. Visuals run the gamut from elegance to true grit. Kudos to Gary Hustwit and his crew for this living history before it is not longer possible. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Alfred Hoffmann, Bruno Steinert, David Carson, Erik Spiekermann, Experimental Jetset, Gary Hustwit, Hermann Zapf, Jonathan Hoefler, Lars Mller, Leslie Savan, Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, Michael Bierut, Michael C.
