The History of Typography || Animated Short

"Canadian designer and animator Ben Barrett-Forrest has created a stop-motion animation charting the history of typography, from its invention in the mid-15th century by German goldsmith Johannes Gutenberg through to the current day, where anyone can create and share their own typeface. According to Barrett-Forrest, the 5-minute video took 140 hours of work and almost two and a half thousand photographs to create, pulling information from publications like Thinking in Type by Ellen Lupton and Just My Type by Simon Garfield.
