Flutterby™! : The Font of Knowlege

An amusing take on how Helvetica conquered the world. I have not seen the film Helvetica, but I intend to now. On the third page of this link there is a hilarious clip from the film where a graphic designer basically attacks all design modes back to Gutenburg. The blogger points out how even fonts can get caught up in what he calls Year Zeroism, where we will wipe out the past completely and build our new world. it goes hand in hand with the common architectural idea that when we get the design of houses right better people will suddenly arise to inhabit them.
