Helvetica

After watching the movie, I was really intriegued by how much the font is used EVERYWHERE. I didn't even realize it. It seems like its so many places that it would be so overwhelming people would get tired of it, but a lot of people don't even notice it. I wouldn't say that the font itself is amazing or even that interesting. It just works. It's a simple font that can be used and manipulated for almost anyone wanting to use it for their project. That is the amazing part. Aparently some designers are obssessed with it. That's probably why its everywhere on the planet. It's mind boggling that one font could spread that far and wide into every culture and last over time.
