The (Mostly) True Story of Helvetica and the New York City Subway

Fantastic link. I'm a New Yorker, I find the city's history fascinating, and I loved the documentary "Helvetica."

If you have the slightest interest in design or typography, go check out "Helvetica." I never realized how common Helvetica really is -- like one of the designers says, it's like air. Plus, the movie has a great soundtrack by El Ten Eleven.

The craftsmanship that was omnipresent in American life up until 40 or so years ago is astounding.

Sad Really.
