Happy Birthday Helvetica

I guess I'm just geeky enough to think this sounds interesting:

2007 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Max Miedinger and Edouard Hoffmann's design Helvetica, the most ubiquitous of all typefaces. Widely considered the official typeface of the twentieth century, Helvetica communicates with simple, well-proportioned letterforms that convey an aesthetic clarity that is at once universal, neutral, and undeniably modern.


It's the Museum of Modern Art's exhibit celebrating 50 years of Helvetica type.
