Jim, please put me down for one of these. Regarding typefaces, Helvetica was not created out of the fog, uniquely, but was a development and influenced by other type faces, notably Akzidenz Grotesk. By the 1920's with influence of the Bauhaus, other similar typefaces emerged. So, even though it looks too modern, it fits into things that were happening in design at the time. Without knowing, one would not think that Mies' Barcelona Chairs were designed in the 20's.
