helvetica the documentary

and speaking of helvetica, robert & I watched this really interesting independent documentary (titled "helvetica") about the presence of the helvetica typestyle & the impact its had on our culture. the font is so ubiquitous, yet you probably haven't even realized that some of your favorite brands' logos are set in helvetica.

it's a great film & if you appreciate design & typography, you should definitely add it to your netflix queue.

keep calm & use helvetica

love this designer's take on the popular "keep calm, carry on" poster.

what typeface are you?

now this is a really great interactive quiz: "what type are you?" I'm perpetua titling light. what type are you?

typography week

lately I've been crushing on typography, so this week I thought I'd post some of my favorite uses of good type... starting with this print. my designer-husband would definitely appreciate this.
