Mad about Helvetica...

..whilst watching a recent episode of Mad Men (loving the new offices BTW!) I suddenly shouted to David (he was lounging on the sofa next to me) that there was a Helvetica poster in the background. I was ridiculously excited and David tried his best to look and sound interested.

Well Swiss Dots has produced a limited edition screenprint inspired by a 1960's promotional poster for the film "Helvetica". It is screenprinted by hand on archival 300gsm paper, A2 size in a numbered edition of 100 copies and each one is signed by the director Gary Hustwit. They are available to order here while stocks last at $150. I am so tempted...

Days gone by...

I've always had a bit of thing for calendars and I'm loving the above vintage examples from a selection over at Grain Edit. My favourite all time calendar has to be the Stendig below which was designed in 1966 by Massimo Vignelli and taken that year into the Design Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. I just love staring at that big old hunk of black and white Helvetica. David has bought me one for Christmas for the last two years so I'm hoping that tradition carries on year after year...

I don't mean to offend...

...but I'm absolutely loving this poster design by Alison Carmichael! It made my sister and I howl with laughter on the phone yesterday!

Via Art at the heart

Be bold...

It's a t-shirt, it has Helvetica on it and I want one. Simple as that. Available at DADADA

Typeface porn....

I NEED THIS POSTER!!! Ok so Helvetica has had a bit of a backlash and it's supposedly the most over used typeface but I don't care! Perhaps there should be Helvetica Anonymous meetings?....Hi my name is Griffo and I'm addicted to Helvetica....
