The film Helvetica is asking questions about the nature and meaning of type. Is it a "crystal goblet" that simply conveys information? Can you write "dog" in any typeface? Is "caffeinated" only caffeinated in a caffeinated font? Is Helvetica responsible for the Vietnam war?
Having watched the film (and given your own experience), are fonts simply tools that convey information or is additional meaning layered into the font itself? Or both? Support your position with examples from the film as appropriate.
