[tonkpils667]

That movie changed my whole outlook on type and design in general (for the better).

[markgrinberg]

thanks for this!

spiekermann is also interviewed in HELVETICA - his opinions are certainly cultivated and he is an authority on the subject, even if i can't say that i'm on the same page as him.

any other videos of this kind?

[Matfutura]

That, I cannot say. I actually got the video off Erik Spiekermann's website.

[markgrinberg]

thanks!!

[robbiebalboa]

he gets a kick out of type, he cracks me up in helvetica. he must really be dutch cause no german has a sense of humor. that video was great

Excellent introduction to typography. I shall use it in my marketing class.
