    Here’s another one for the list:

    The movie “Helvetica”:

    “AIGA KC PRESENTS Helvetica, a feature-length documentary about typography, graphic design, and global visual culture. Helvetica looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrates its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.”
