"Cashing in on Font Movies" or "Typographic Sequels that are Dying to be Made"

Helvetica was a great documentary about a very over-used, but pragmatic, font. While it certainly didn't top the box office charts, it did create a lot of buzz on the independent circuit. Its success as a movie about a font could possibly inspire other over-used fonts in society.

Papyrus: The Movie Out of the dry, desert wasteland of North Africa comes a font so mysterious, so crackly, that it was born to be used by every small business and secretary in the country: Papyrus. Its calculated deformities, combined with his elongated ascenders, make it seem as if it emerged from antiquity just to exist in the logos of fortune tellers, tanning salons, and organic coffee houses. Perhaps, when archaeologists finally discover the lost Dead Sea Scrolls, they shall be written in... Papyrus!

Comic Sans: The Movie Based on the hilarious off-off-off broadway play comes this hilarious romp into the zany, slapstick child wonderland known as Comic Sans!

Nothing says kindergarten homework assignment like Comic Sans!

Algerian: The Musical Straight out of Northern Africa comes a font made to look like it was born in Victorian Germany!
