Die Neue Haas Grotesk (2008-05-13)

This is an intriguing documentary on typography, graphic design, and global visual culture. The origins and metamorphosis of the use of the type font and the people involved. We see its structure and the psychology behind the font. How it got its name. Soon we see it everywhere. I have to admit I was more moved by the introduction of the film as they were using the lead type and setting up a proof press. I used the same equipment as a lad and always felt that something was missing when the technology changed and it was a less of hands on function. Beside the font it is interesting to see how graphic design industry works. The people involved in it and the end results; presented by Gary Hustwit. After waiting this documentary (which lends its self well to the Blu-ray treatment) you will want to "give them Helvetica."

A film about a typeface? (2008-03-27)

This is a documentary film about the typeface Helvetica. It is intelligent, informative and engaging. Surprisingly you don't need to be a design geek to enjoy it. Definitely a 'must see.'
