Helvetica features world-renowned designers discussing their work, the creative process, and the decisions behind their uses of type.
Take a closer look at the words around you everyday and discover how and why their typography was created and why Helvetica is so ubiquitous.
The screening will be followed by a panel made up of artists and designers who will be discussing the use of typefaces in their practice, in both the analogue and digital worlds!
