pilot_starUh... what to say?
I watched Helvetica on... Wednesday.
It was pretty good, actually. It was about the typeface, yeah, but it also had to do with how the typeface came about and design philosophy. I also thought it was interesting how they found different designers with completely different opinions about helvetica as a typeface and font itself, even though they're all famous typographers. (Such as Erik Spiekermann, who thinks that the content of the word should express what it's about rather than the typeface, and David Carson, who thinks that the typeface should can also be loud and have personality.)
...I kinda liked the parts where they just showed where they found the font. They should make an entire movie like that.
I also really liked the music.
So, if listening to history of fonts and ideas behind it doesn't bore you to tears, check it out, it's worth a watch.
Anyway.
Just two more original characters from Megiddo, Javer and Wilst.
Wilst shows up within the first 5 pages or so (but quickly gets left behind) but Javer will show up... around chapter 2, I guess?
I have a tummy ache. :(
