Overall I thought the Helvetica movie was pretty interesting. I never knew what really went into fonts and honestly thought that computer programmers made them. It was good to see the behind the scenes look at how fonts are actually created. I never thought that so much work goes into a font and all the aspects a font has.
Now I often catch myself analyzing fonts and trying to figure out whether or not its Helvetica or not. Over spring beak I noticed many signs for stores that were all in Helvetica. I agree that Helvetica tries to come off as the “laid back” font that the people in the movie describe it as, direct and plain.
