We can't seem to kick this recent, um, kick we've been on. We've examined the typography of movie posters. We've explored the typography of movie titles. So now it's time to look at typography as movie. That's right, it's Typeface, the film.The film centers on the Hamilton Wood Type Museum and the artisans who converge there for a celebration of the letterpress arts. Here's the trailer:
I really enjoyed this trailer. The old crafts needs to be preserved and passed down to new generations. I remember my days of working for Sears and Roebuck (as it was called) down in the basement "sign shop" using wooden letters to print Sale signs. I loved the feel of the wood and movement in my job. Looking forward to the film.
