Ironically, the film forever put me off using Helvetica, and now I have no desire to acquire anything related to it. I even uninstalled it.
It was fun, but it was never going to work out with that uppercase R.- Doesn't your system go all batshit crazy when you get rid of Helvetica, being a system font and all.czawada
- Not for Windows, I don't think.Jaline

- I like Arial too.Jaline

Great packaging.
Pricing is high (in my opinion), but it is signed and everything, so it comes close to the prices of signed posters out there now."Why these spirals you might ask? Well, first of all, the disc-like forms refer to the idea of formats: Blu-ray, vinyl, etc. Secondly, we liked the idea of Helvetica as a typeface spiralling out of control, or revolving almost like a planet, or a dark sun, or a universe in itself. We also thought that the spiral-like disc would refer to rays, radiation, etc., underlining the idea of Blu-ray.
But most of all, we really wanted to show the typeface in a sort of deconstructed type specimen. We thought it would be interesting to show the typeface, without actually showing it. As you see, the forms shown on the sleeve are not recognizable as letters, but you can still notice the shapes that are characteristic for Helvetica."
Bit hokey, like analyzing stuff in English class.

I'm not in love with Helvetica or anything, but I know lots of people will buy this. So good for the creators.

i hated that experimental jetset part,
these typical design jack-offs.
by designers for designer really doesn' interest me.
build, spiekerman and crouwel were nice intervieuws tho,
but 125 bucks? no way...

much nicer.

Like any font, Helvetica has it's place.
