Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which recently celebrated its 50th birthday) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.”

and the PBS site has more info, including a FONT QUIZ!!! woo-hoo (i was a little upset when it said I was Courier, though. My graphic designer friends will understand why.)
