21 March SmallTalk: In your (type)face.

Millions of people use and read this typeface every day, on public transport, newspapers, shop fronts and computers. Through interviews with designers and type enthusiasts, the film tells the story of how a typeface drawn by a little-known Swiss designer in 1957 became one of the most popular ways to communicate. Though it has gone in and out of fashion it has never gone away - is this a symptom of globalisation or simply a reflection that it is the ultimate typeface?

Come to the 21 March 7:21 SmallTalk and get close and personal with the world's most popular typeface which celebrated its 50th birthday last year.
