This was an interesting film. I had no idea what a breakthrough this font was. It's pretty crazy to think about after realizing we see Helvetica EVERYWHERE. And it DOES have an impact on the way we perceive the world. I can't even imagine how the developer of this font feels, he definitely accomplished something big for design. As ambiguous as this movie sounds, I was actually quite fascinated. People don't think about how something even as simple as type, can define the world in which we live. And I think this documentary does a good job addressing this.
