Lovely animated short by Ben Barrett-Forrest about the history of fonts and typography. 291 paper letters, 2,454 photographs, 140 hours of work. Totally engaging–and you might actually learn something about typography (see The Elements of Typographic Style and Helvetica). [NOTE: Perfect for a freezing, snowy day in New York. Like today].
