I was really surprised at how much history there is behind a font. I never thought of a story behind the letters that we type. It’s interesting that Helvetica was so popular and was used in basically every advertisement. I noticed after watching this documentary that I’m more aware of advertisements around me. I notice the font. The popularity of Helvetica made it lose its originality.
