I saw "Helvetica" the documentary today.
It was great. It was made for graphic designers.
The movie explores all aspects of Helvetica, the ones who love it and the ones who hate it.
Do you love or hate Helvetica? Let Veer know. The "love/hate" graphic above is from Veer.
I'd classify myself in the LOVE helvetica camp.
To me it is one of the most perfect typefaces.
I fell in love with the "a" during my art school days.
My typography teacher had us do graphite renderings
of fonts on vellum to learn the beauty of working with type. Do art schools still do this?
Helvetica was one of my favorite ones to imitate. It was so satisfying to me to do a perfect graphite rendition.
I love a lot of fonts...but I kind of feel like Helvetica was one of my first true loves. Now I am going to try to think of something to write for Veer's "love/hate". Hmmm?
