I'm watching Helvetica, the typography documentary movie, at the moment.

It's a learning experience. Recommended.

It's been around for a while, but if you haven't seen it, it's amusing: Behind The Typeface: Cooper Black (http://www.veer.com/ideas/btt/)

Added to the "watching it at the library" list, with thanks.

Having finally watched it...

...thanks again!

Didn't I see Cooper Black used on M*A*S*H?

I think so. It was also used on the "Vote for Pedro" shirts in Napoleon Dynamite.

I had hoped that there would be more "Behind The Typeface", but I guess it wasn't to be.

A pity, that. Seems like one could get some mileage out of that stuff.
