Conde Nast is selling
signed prints of Massimo Vignelli's
updated but timeless New York subway map.
Vignelli was profiled in the Gary Hustwit's
documentary,
Helvetica. It's an amazing
documentary about Helvetica, the font, and about
typeface design in general. While the film's
appeal may be limited outside of font nerd
circles, it provides amazing insight into one of
the most ubiquitous and perfectly designed sans
serif fonts ever created.
