Anybody catch this program. It was entirely on TYPE. Helvetica to be precise and its impact on the world. I was blown away and couldn't get enough of this program. They interviewed the creator of the font and discussed opinions from many high end graphic designers of its impact on the world today. How it shows up everywhere. I laughed when one graphic artist made mention of poor copycat fonts like Ariel, or as I like to call it Ariel boring or just plain ariel default!!!. If you get a chance to see this program on PBS you will enjoy it.

Rent the movie, it's called Helvetica. The extra features have all the designers interviewed offering further insight.
