attention font nerds

If you, like me, have an unreasonable interest in typefaces, you may be a "font nerd." Come join your brethren at a screening of Helevtica, a documentary about a font. That's right, you heard me. Not just any font, a font that has enraptured design junkies for 50 years. Many of you may recognize it from its derivatives like the ubiquitous Arial.

Why would you want to watch a a documentary about a font?

If you have to ask, you probably shouldn't come.

Where: Knoxville Museum of Art

When: Thursday, 7:00 PM

Actually, I love it when a book devotes a page at the back to explain the typeface employed and its history.

I read an article fairly recently about Helvetica. Maybe it was in relation to this documentary.

i got obsessed one day and read all the articles on sans serif fonts in wikipedia. it really is interesting to see their history and development.

go look at www.typophile.com
it's a good point of reference for current trends and histories of fonts.

Ambos modelos cuentan con el movimiento de cuerda manual P.5002 con una reserva de marcha de 8 días (o 192 horas,replicas relojes si lo prefiere), y ambos cuentan con un indicador de reserva de marcha destacado en el dial. Panerai describe el P.5002 como "ejecutado en su totalidad por Panerai", lo que solo puedo entender como un significado totalmente interno. En la verdadera moda de Panerai, cada reloj está equipado con una correa de cuero;replicas de relojes el PAM795 con un cuero marrón oscuro y el PAM797 con un tono más claro.
