Helvetica (2007)

Helvetica is one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. You guys, it's a full-length movie about fonts, or a single font, and it doesn't get boring once. This guy's in it too!
Helvetica is the font of capitalism and socialism, of modernism and postmodernism, of Jews and Gentiles, of Cure and Smiths fans. I mean, it's no Futura, but it's still a fantabulous font. Watch this movie immediately, but more importantly keep your eyes peeled for this ubiquitous font. Just like motorcycles, it's EVERYWHERE.

P.S. I kind of missed the boat on this movie and it came out 2 years ago and it's old news and all, but just deal with my enthusiasm.
