The tweaky world of typography is not perhaps as much at the heart of how we live as these designers would have us believe, but it's enjoyable to watch them rhapsodise sans serifs and spacing. Oct 13, 2007 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The computer revolution may have democratized graphic design, letting anyone decorate his own desktop or MySpace page, but a certain amount of conformity is necessary for society to function. Jun 16, 2007 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Director Gary Hustwit opens our eyes to the visual culture of typography in much the same way as Andy Warhol once freed us from the tyranny of advertising, by inviting reflection upon that which is intended as a subliminal encounter. Mar 7, 2008 | Rating: B | Full Review…

Helvetica spins its wheels for a good part of its rather short running time, making the same points over and again, with diminishing effect each time. Sep 13, 2007 | Full Review…

Helvetica makes a game attempt to understand how typefaces have been applied to contemporary modes of information and how battle lines have been drawn about their usage. Sep 6, 2007 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Funny to think that the font movie would have the potential to restore one's faith in art and its myriad meanings, but it does. Jun 20, 2007 | Full Review…
