The Helvetica Debate
From D&AD’s “Inspired by Typography” campaign:
When we discovered that one of our favorite graphic artists, Supermundane, had a lifelong love of typography, we knew we had to bring him down to the Monotype Archives.
In this film Supermundane, AKA Rob Lowe, catches up with uncanny doppleganger and fellow type lover, Dan Rhatigan. They investigate production methods from times past, reinvigorate the debate of Helvetica (watch out Erik Spiekermann…) and uncover some rare 20th Century German fonts.
You’ll even find out what cheese Helvetica would be.
