We Live In Helvetica

After watching Helvetica - A documentary film by Gary Hustwit, I started to realize how much Helvetica I see per day. From the subway signs, inside the subway, inside the actual train, street signs, and storefronts all over the city use Helvetica. We can thank Max for that. I wonder what the next global type will be. Any ideas?

I just created this with the help of Helvetica. ;)

I saw that doc a few months ago, I found it fascinating - who knew a doc about a font could be so riveting?

I agree. I need to get to the Objectified while it's still in NYC.
