Helvetica
The Documentary Helvetica offered showed the history of the font helvetica. The original name and how the name changed to adapt to a more broader audience. The second name for it was supposed to be Helvetia but had to be changed to Helvetica. It showed the change of an era from something that was extravagant and loud to something of a more professional and serious tone. Many people use that font nowadays. I never really noticed all the different types of fonts used in the everyday world. It seemed just so normal to me like another text on a billboard or sign but the detail and the amount of work that goes into it is interesting.
