HELLO HELVETICA

“HELLO HELVETICA” is a small exhibition held in Bangkok in October 2007. It is a part of the BANGKOK DESIGN FESTIVAL, and was held to accompany the showing of the film HELVETICA (2007, Gary Hustwit, A). HELLO HELVETICA is created by asking some artists to create some works inspired by Helvetica font.

Below are the images of some of these works.

--As for my opinion, I don’t like Helvetica font. My most favorite font is OLD ENGLISH TEXT MT.
