Unfold the history of the world’s most famous font, Helvetica: the epitome of Swiss design
Designed in 1957, the Helvetica font is an icon of Swiss graphic design, and emblematic of the sober, functional communication adopted throughout the world in the 1950s and ’60s. The font’s balanced and perceived neutral appearance forgoes a high degree of expressivity―a quality for which it is both criticized and admired. This polarization has helped it gain unparalleled notoriety. First published in 2009 and since out of print, Helvetica forever returns in a smaller and more affordable paperback format. The book retraces Helvetica’s 50-year history, compares it to the well-known sans serif fonts of the 20th century and examines the phenomenon of its unparalleled spread. The study grows from the archive of Alfred Hoffmann, the former director of the Haas’sche Schriftgiesserei (type foundry), where, in conjunction with Max Miedinger and Eduard Hoffmann, Helvetica was developed. Accompanying illustrations show the panoply of ways Helvetica has been adopted across the world: from signal design to party flyers and subway lettering.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
