Long live the font geeks! The guy's name who used Dingbats was David Carson by the way. He was a real typographic assassin back in the mid 90s! You might want to check out his end of print book if you get a chance. Cheers, John Hi Mark,

My girlfriend often takes the piss saying I'm a bit of a font geek but this documentary justified why it's important to care about which type face is used for a design, as it largely affects the tone of what the text actually says. The guy who used Zapt Dingbats for the boring text content amused me. I might try that on the next uninspired copy I get sent to work with. It was good to hear the opinions of the haters, but my vote is as a fan of Helvetica. This was an interesting watch.
