Great design starts with observation, curiosity, and shared experiences. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to a special community gathering centered around one of the most influential design documentaries ever made – Helvetica.

Released in 2007 and directed by Gary Hustwit, Helvetica is a deep dive into the world of typography, graphic design, and visual culture. The film explores the origins and global impact of the Helvetica typeface – a font you’ve definitely seen countless times, even if you didn’t realize it. From subway signage to corporate branding, Helvetica has shaped how we read and interpret the modern world.

But this documentary is more than just a story about a font. It’s a reflection on how design influences our daily lives – often invisibly. Through interviews with leading designers, the film presents contrasting perspectives: some celebrate Helvetica’s clarity and neutrality, while others critique its ubiquity and association with corporate uniformity. This tension makes the film especially compelling, even for those outside the design world.
