| | Movie Haiku: | Fascinating documentary (really!) about typefaces -- a highly specialized topic real for the rest of us since personal computers suddenly gave us choices. Helvetica is the master on which all other modernist fonts (Arial, Verdana, etc) are based: the very embodiment great post-WWII ambitions, it’s “clean,” “transparent,” & now ubiquitous. |
