I enjoyed Helvetica. The interviews were great, but I have to say, I wanted more. More history, I think, to put things in context.

So I finally just watched Helvetica, and it was great. I laughed, I cried... who would have thought a movie about a font could be so enjoyable? And now I'm so inspired I just want to design something!

Also for the typography nerd, the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp. It has a vast collection of printing materials from the 1500s to 1800s, including the only known complete original set of Garamond dies.

Yes! I've heard great things about this one but didn't know it was available free online. Thanks for the link, I'm downloading it now to watch after work. :-)
