Helvetica Typeface Celebrates 50 Years

May 31, 2007 3:45 PM

Love Letters is a new documentary that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Helvetica typeface. Better yet the film includes a soundtrack by the Sea and Cake's Sam Prekop and the always wonky Four Tet.

Dupe. And the film is actually called "Helvetica."

Yes, Love Letters is the name of the movie, about the film called "Helvetica." Did you read the article you are posting?

Isn't 'dupe' one who is swindled?

Wait, no, Love Letters is the title of the article about a movie called Helvetica. Or is there a movie called Love Letters which is about the documentary about Helvetica called Helvetica. The double post is about the same documentary that was posted previously, but the name of the article about the movie may or may not have been Love Letters, but it was definitely about Helvetica, which is the name of a movie which is a documentary about Helvetica which is a font and/or typeface.

I like my title better.

Actually, I find both titles so full of verve and excitement that I can barely contain my bubbly enthusiasm.
