I'd forgotten I'd actually seen this, it was really pretty entertaining and I think Dieter Rams popped up in it too somewhere too.

What is really good too is this group Experimental Jetset, Their archive is fantastic. The LSD blotter sheet is very funny

The link to the documentray is at the bottom.

Got to rent it
Matther Carter is a friend of mine and was interviewed for this documentary. (I'm a bad friend - I've still yet to see it.) He knew the guy who invented Helvetica, and actually did some work on the face later on. Typface is one of those things that is both fascinating and mind-numbingly boring at the same time. When it's good it is SO very good. And when it's bad its...well... Comic Sans.
