The History of Typography Animated Short
Painstakingly realized through 291 paper letters, 2,454 photos and 140 hours of stop-motion capture work, Ben Barrett-Forrest of Forrest Media presents a brief history of the history of typography. Beginning with the pioneering work of Johannes Gutenberg in revolutionizing the art through his invention of the mechanical movable type printing press, he goes on to track the different types that have emerged and diverged since Nicolas Jenson‘s invention of roman type.
For all the budding designers and creatives or if you’re simply interested in more about typography, check out Noupe’s Crash Course in Typography.

Watch the Official Trailer for “Sign Painters”
There was a time when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the promise of “quicker and cheaper.” The resulting computer-designed, die-cut vinyl lettering and inkjet printers has ushered a “creeping sameness” into our landscape.
In 2010 Directors Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, with Cinematographer Travis Auclair, began documenting these dedicated practitioners, their time-honored methods, and their appreciation for quality and craftsmanship. Sign Painters, the first history of the craft, features the stories of more than two dozen sign painters working in cities throughout the United States. Watch the official trailer for Sign Painters, above.
Sean McCabe’s Hand-Lettered Quotes
San Antonio, Texas-based designer Sean McCabe is passionate about hand lettering and typography, loves meticulous detail and expresses an attentive eye for precision, balance and composition in his work. He uses subtle intricacies to produce smart cohesive messages, and has developed his own complete fonts and lettering projects. His custom messages are deeply personal, often wise or witty, and lovingly penned–which is much more than many DI artists can claim. Check out his website here.
