    “One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a while. Design is everywhere and Helvetica is ubiquitous. Was writing down quotes from this in my journal throughout the whole thing. Also quite a beautiful and minimal visual experience. “Don’t confuse legibility with communication. Just because something’s legible doesn’t mean it communicates the right thing.””

    “This great rec by @Alexandra Clark makes me want to rewatch that whole little series with Objectified and Urbanized and--and--gets me excited to check out Gary Hustwit's whacky, generative Brian Eno doc when it premieres on the Criterion Channel next month.”
