Candy Depew & Helvetica

Candy Depew is a very interesting woman. She is a ceramicist and print maker who has created magnificent ceramics all over the country and the world. Many themes found in her art are hearts, diamonds, skulls, and blood drips. She manages to make the skulls seem very cute and girly, but tuff at the same time. She has created skateboards and chopper bikes.

Helvetica is a documentary about the origins of the most popular font world wide. The font has been used for over 50 years. It is discussed in the documentary the way the type affects our lives today. The font is very reflective of Swiss design.
