1950s - CIRCA HELEVETICA'S CONCEPTION






Helvetica debuted in 1957. It was created by Max Miedinger with Eduard Hoffman. The purpose for Helvetica was to,
"create a neutral typeface that had great clarity, had no intrinsic meaning in its form, and could be used on a wide variety of signage."


In the 1950's music was an ever present force. Some of our time's greatest musicians debuted in the 1950's. Artists like Elvis Presley and Little Richard set a standard which many of today's artists have idolized. Unlike today, families gathered around Black & White Tv radios to watch their favorite television shows and musicians perform.
