Beside a 16x9 anamorphic widescreen presentation, with English and German language subtitles, and a 12-page color booklet, the DVD includes 90 minutes of additional interviews with Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, Erik Spiekermann, Hermann Zapf, and many more. Spiekermann was hilarious in the film, but you just know he had more to say than that!
DVDs ship as early as November 6, but if you order now, you'll save some cash, get early shipping and exclusive goodies. There's also a limited-edition box set, which includes the DVD, three letterpressed mini-posters, a color C-print of a still from the film (one of ten different stills) signed by director Gary Hustwit, two love/hate Helvetica buttons, and a letter of actual Helvetica metal type! Limited edition of 1,000 copies, order yours now.

You’ve seen the film Helvetica. Now you want to own it for yourself and see all the other stuff said by those designers that didn’t make the cut. Now you can pre-order your own copy of Helvetica on DVD.

, you probably already know about the 7-11 stores across the US that have been temporarily converted to Kwik-E-Marts to promote the upcoming Simpsons movie. What you may not know is that we have one in the GVR, specifically in Coquitlam. This is particularly special when you consider that it is the only Kwik-E-Mart in Canada, and one of only 12 in North America.
The store is full of Simpsons products like Buzz Cola and Squishies (Slurpee machines re-skinned), and apparently in the US stores you can even buy Duff Beer. To see some pictures of our local store, check out this <a href=)
