Typography is one of my academic guilty pleasures. Well perhaps not so guilty s it fits nicely into my technical communication work and teaching. This short video is a nice basic introduction (under 2 minutes) to typography. The teacher in me appreciates how is it states that typography is used to communicate. The typography lover in me agrees with John of Machine Memorialis (where I first saw this video) that the best line is “A good typographer…makes the type taste good.”

Something to say?
