The past two days were the end of the semester so my seniors celebrated by watching the Helvetica: movie. There were a couple of interesting DNA/design references in the film. One was Matthew Carter's statement that designing a lower case h and a lower case o revealed much of the DNA of the typeface. Another was someone late in the movie (I can't remember who) saying that Helvetica was part of the DNA of Modernism in graphic design.
