Helvetica.
There’s been some buzz surrounding the release of the independent film “Helvetica” for several months now.
If you’re wondering “why haven’t I heard of it?” it may be because you (a) aren’t given to staring at/lusting after typefaces and fonts while trying to pick out different styles of lettering on billboards and bus signs or (b) prefer not to watch documentaries about the history of typefaces and foundries.
My name is Isaac. And I’m a designer.
Yesterday they announced that tickets are on sale for the Chicago premier. In my excitement, I bought two, thinking that a premier certainly calls for an entourage, even if it’s only one other person. Thankfully, finding like-minded creatives is not a difficult task. So, on June 15th, Tim Schraeder will be joining me at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago for what will likely be one of the most incredible movies of all time.

YES!! I just found about this when I got back from Phoenix. I would love to go and it looks amazing. I’ll probably just wait until Micah downloads it and then watch it on my computer though. Let me know if it’s any good and tell me about all of the cool things you learned in the documentary.
