Helvetica overdose

A couple of days ago I received my special edition Helvetica Moleskine notebooks by the Helvetica Project, they look lovely in red and black with debossed logos/type! I only wish I’d ordered more as I’m probably not going to use these two.

As well as the Moleskines I also bought the Helvetica documentary, I wasn’t too convinced it would be as good as people says - it’s a film about a font! - but I was very wrong. The film interviews various prominent designers and typographers on their views of Helvetica, not all of them are keen on the font and I have to say I liked their arguments.
