Stairway to Helvetica: Rockwell



Oh Rockwell Rockwell,
How was I supposed to know,
That you're a serif typeface,
Oh Rockwell Rockwell,
I should have let you know 
your 'O' is not an eclipse, 

Show me your rounded letterform,
Tell me Rockwell,
'Cause I need your geo-form

Your semi-structure 
Is killing me ( and I)
I must confess your honesty,
When I don't use you I loose my mind,
Give me your type
Hit me Rockwell one more time. 

So in groups we were given a specific font to make a song about which we then had to perform to the whole class. I felt that it would be easiest to do a parody of a song that already exists and just insert information about the typeface.
After our beautifully sung performance it was sprung upon us to produce a music video for our song too. This video is a narrative of a troubled love story between and girl and guy called Rockwell.
