Helvetica for free

Gary Hustwit’s 2007 documentary Helvetica, now fifteen years old, is streaming free through March 30.

When I first saw this film, almost fifteen years ago, I wrote something about it. My favorite lines (still) are from Erik Spiekermann:

“Other people look at bottles of wine or whatever, or, you know, girls’ bottoms. I get kicks out of looking at type. It’s a little worrying, I must admit. It’s a very nerdish thing to do.”
