Helvetica: The Movie

[Update: as of this Sunday, January 27th, the free preview on Google Video was no longer available: More on that at the Helvetica Blog here. However, I would highly recommend purchasing the DVD (which I just did). The link above explains it was the #1 watched video on Google Video this Friday. It would be interesting to see what the unauthorized exposure creates in the way of DVD sales. I hope it turns out to be a profitable mistake for the creators.]

Helvetica is an interesting 1-hour, 22-minute film documentary about typefaces, visual culture, and graphic design. I wanted to see this last year when it came out, but never got around to seeing it or ordering the DVD. Now you can see the entire feature-length film on Google Video.

Here’s a link to a story about the documentary in the New York Times.
