Last August we raved about the trailer for Helvetica: The Movie, a documentary focused on the world’s most popular (and arguably most powerful) typeface. Finally, the DVD version is now ready for pre-order, with a delivery date of November 6th. The DVD for $20 includes the entire 80-minute feature film, plus more than 80 minutes of interviews with incredible people like Massimo Vignelli, Matt Carter, and Herman Zapf. There is also a limited-edition boxed version — naturally — for $76 that includes the DVD, three letterpressed mini-posters, a color C-print signed by director Gary Hustwit, an actual Helvetica metal type piece, and a handful of other awesome goodies. The collector boxes are limited to 1,000 copies and will not be available in any stores. My inner typography nerd is officially out now — I can’t wait to get my hands on this film!

I saw “Helvetica” at the theater and I highly recommend it for designers and font geeks alike.
