a documentary film by Gary Hustwit is touring the country and I missed the first viewing but now it's time for the second coming.

i feel like such at typography geek, excited by this to the point of ____, well i'll let you fill in the blank. yet i would be even more excited if I could inure this blog entry was in Helvetica for all.

Here's some more info:
Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. Helvetica is currently screening at film festivals, museums, design conferences, and cinemas worldwide, followed by the DVD release.

To be honest, I prefer Helvetica Neue.
Didn't stop me from purchasing the DVD.
