Guardian Interview With ‘Helvetica’ Director Gary Hustwit

Gary Hustwit, in an interview with Andrew Dickson:

“When I started this project, I couldn’t believe that a film like this didn’t exist already, because these people are gods and goddesses. What they do is more than just logos and corporate branding - they design the type that we read every day in newspapers and magazines, onscreen and on television. Fonts don’t just appear out of Microsoft Word: there are human beings and huge stories behind them.”
