Helvetica: Good or Bad?

Helvetica: Good or Bad?
In 1957 a font was introduced to the world. This san serif type face was created at the Swiss type foundry Haas and it would go on to become one of the most popular typefaces of all time. That font is Helvetica. In 2007 for its 50th anniversary Gary Hustwit released his documentary film simply named Helvetica. This film took an in depth look at they history of the typeface as well as highlighted its proliferation throughout our culture. Since I have recently rewatched this film it has sparked an opinion on something the film touched on.  »

In today’s world its not just the major foundries which are creating beautiful fonts for use in our design pieces. Individual artists have created a world of fonts that is rich and plentiful. Here are my favorite places to get fonts and why. »

Letterpress Can Make an Impression
Letterpress is a form of printing that was used beginning in the mid 15th century and remained pretty much unchanged until the advent of offset printing. It was pretty much “how it was done” before offset was invented. »
