I don't mean to sound ignorant, but I don't get it :/ Is the movie just flashes of helvetica writing? Or is there something deeper i'm just not seeing?

yeah, it has many interviews from famous graphic designers, typogrpahers from the modernist movement to today's top designers includding an inerview and quotes from the son of one of Helvetica's creator's---Eduard Hoffmann:son;Alfred Hoffmann....and ofcouse it just basically elaborates on the meaning of typefaces we see all around us today
