'Helvetica' Tour Kinda Ends

Gary Hustwit, the director of popular graphic design doc Helvetica, checks in via the film's blog to announce that he's just wrapped his final public appearance on the worldwide tour for the documentary. The doc, which had its world premiere at SXSW 2007 and has managed a successful DIY theatrical run across the nation, will continue to screen at various venues and events. Just without Hustwit. As he jokes, "Really, I love graphic design, and I love typography, but after 100 events in the past seven months I can’t answer any more questions about fonts!" In the same post, he relays an amusing exchange he had with the rabbi of a Tulsa wedding. In related news, Helvetica sees its DVD release on November 20. Pre-order your copy here.
