0:00 "Typography is . . . . " - that's a rare thing on KZbin nowdays. I just subcribed. 🙂

[@DesignSpo]

Thank you, I try to keep my intros as short as possible for exactly this reason.

As someone commented out, I will repeat them: Just straight to the point. No bullshit to keep us engaged to your video. Thanks for valuing your viewers more than the views you got.

[@carlabouantoun6152]

Viewer > views indeed

[@SurfKwonDo1]

Straight to the point no bs. Learned a lot. Thank you!

[@DesignSpo]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@bosshenry2811]

KZbin is better than any college out there you proved it❤

In typography, “leading” rhymes with “wedding”, because it derives from how much lead-the metal-was inserted between lines in metal type.

[@vhoyer]

:o

[@OrvilleChomer]

I know that I pronounced this word like 'leading experts say...' for years, until I read a book font electronic publishing that explained what you just said. And I went 'Ahhh!' Now this term actually made sense!

[@karenm2669]

That's what I'd thought, too. So that jarred a little, but the rest of this video filled in so many gaps in my understanding.

[@gavinlewis666]

Yeah, I came down here to say that. Really useful video, though, I learned a lot from it

[@HenryLoenwind]

Also, it refers to the property of the font, not to how it is set. The minimal distance between the baselines, as you physically cannot move them closer together. You can always add spacers between the lines, but you can't make two pieces of metal overlap.

[@bonnbanwell1446]

Great video. A handy starter for newbies. One correction… in the print world, there are 72 points to an inch. (12 points to a pica and six picas to an inch.) Also, a small thing… the word leading is pronounced "led-ing." Rhymes with "heading."

[@KiwiRedstone]

I've been writing frontend websites for fun for 5 years now, but every time I feel like something is wrong with my design. This video basically points out those mistakes! Thanks for sharing such a useful information.

[@DesignSpo]

So glad I could be of help, this means a lot!

[@FiolarinKanmi]

Need a whole series on typography

[@Waltorial]

Now this. This is fabulous video writing.

[@clionaduffy8330]

thanks so much for this it was so helpful. I'm studying graphic design at uni and feel that some of the lecturers are so unhelpful with this kind of stuff, so thank you. It helped give a bit of a better understanding

[@mukulmayankdubey3627]

This is a fucking typography course, not a video. I wish I could like a thousand times mahn

[@karenm2669]

Extremely good video. I'm not formally trained but have read oh so many books over the years and have been doing a lot of things right. Some things I've been doing wrong, but since I never knew what error I was making I've spent way too much time using a "trial and nah-don't-like-that-try-again" approach. Saved this one in my Watch Again playlist and immediately subscribed.

[@goodoldfashioned]

I've been looking for something exactly like this for a while. Thanks for the extremely informative and well-explained content

[@YourRyeBread]

Such a good video. Was constantly waiting for an ad, and was even gonna be happy about it, but no ad (pos) and still such quality!

[@o_enamuel]

this video gets better the closer to the end you get. There's lotta great advice there

[@chu.meiyan]

Love how straight to the point but engaging + informative this video is! Learned a lot, thanks!

[@yozodiak]

Man I learned more in this 13min video than I did in my semester of graphic design

[@QuimZangui]

Dude, thank you so much, you have no idea how helpful this video is. I've been having a lot of trouble understanding typography and color theory.

[@MosiacMess]

you should do a series that consist of beginners video like this with each elements, it's so informative and interesting

[@suadzahitovic8814]

I never write comments on yt, but this guy deserves an immediate 'subscribe'.

[@MohitYadav-py5mi]

Need the whole series on this topic

[@Omo_Mohd]

I started the video ready to fast forward and the dude was like "Typography is ... " Great video!

[@dadangtriarsaputra3833]

aku menyukai video anda. sangat membuka wawasan dan memperbaiki cara saya membuat karya digital lebih totalitas. terimakasih!

[@johnlatif4136]

Dude that was so informative, thank you so much, God bless you.

[@nikosalgio8149]

I am not usually comment on videos but this is a piece of gold!

[@HamzaELMOQADDAM]

I am a simple guy, DesignSpo uploads a video, I watch it!

[@DesignSpo]

Thank you!

[@PersonManManManMan]

Typography is actually very interesting subject

[@kaushikbiswas6461]

this video was very informative and i gobbled up every bit of it

[@ashlostbones]

I’m working on designing my first font and this video was a great refresher for what I learned in college 👏🏽

[@meganekkoato7304]

Great video! Didn't know about the different types of common grid systems used for print :)

[@mcrumph]

I come from the other (read older) side of the house; a rare bird these days, letterpress. This was a lot of information, succinctly put. I will say, my biggest peeve is ill-considered kerning. Irrational, perhaps, but it drives me to boundary of rage (I'm seeking help for this). Good work.

[@akashbhardwaj3214]

Straight to the point no bs . Thank you

[@simtiaz111]

I need more such video however, if u can just make separate video for each sector would be really helpful. Like print , website, branding material etc. Calligraphy and so on. And i want more on that base line cap line middle line theory and how to use it in illustrator

[@yugant_titirmare]

Easter eggs at 0:21 and 0:55. Other than that it's hard to see someone providing value this dedicatedly. You deserve more subs.

[@ianjohnston3241]

An outstandingly good video!! A huge amount of information conveyed clearly, concisely and entertaining to boot! THANK YOU! Instant like & subscribe.

[@VictorLuc20]

Great video! Thanks man, I had no idea about the ratio for color contrast. Excellent one for my next project!!

[@mahin1776]

I love it you are giving lots of important points which are must know for beginners ❤

[@ivanruiz2218]

[@sassafrassanid5718]

Now I know why I love Courier New so much :) I was going to take a typography class but I would bet money this video covers most of what happens there. Thank you for this video

[@trepanobiopsja]

[@sitrakaforler8696]

I have been interested in typography for years but never stumbled upon any good resources. This was more than I was hoping for. Thank you for sharing! Also on the next video I watched I thought that charity water is a great cause… subscribed 😊

[@TheMaskedManiac6]

What an amazing video! I learned a lot that I wish I would have known earlier! 👍

[@arunavabhattacharya8854]

Hadn't imagined that a video with so less views would be so informative, to the point, and straight up absolutely beautiful in delivery. Kudos to you, you have earned a lifelong subscriber! Hope you grow more!

[@AfshanRashid-e1o]

Awesome, I learned a lot. Thanks

[@CuriousTrotter]

I'm so happy this video was recommended to me, it was extremely informative and I want to learn more of graphic design from this channel

Love the video but also the song!! Whats the name of the song?

[@grungko]

Such a great video !

[@georgeioan9223]

Very useful!

[@ultrachipmonk]

fun fact: in persian calligraphy (nastaliq) the measurement is "dong" (دنگ) which is 1 sixth of a dot (dots are cubical in persian and arabic calligraphy)

[@xugro]

That is also called points (pt) in CSS, it's 1/72 of an inch

bruh i swear 90% of tech company websites have the same soulless, sterile design nowadays

FIGMA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets goo man. Love Figma.

[@JudgeFredd]

Great content

[@dileeshaabilash5562]

really useful ❤❤

[@richardmorgan2801]

Great video however, I think that you will find that the point size of a typeface relates to the height of the block (oldie world hot metal) rather than the actual height of the character.

[@gabetatoe]

Video's helpful. 👍

Good video but disagree about sans serif being more legible that serif fonts. The vast majority of books, especially novels are serif.

0:29 which font is this????

[@OliverOcelot29]

My memory was instantly wiped the second this video ended ngl (｡>﹏

[@jozixuan7360]

emmm point isn't 1/12 of an inch. it's 1/12 of a pica, which makes point 1/72 of an inch.

[@SmilingCherryBlossoms-ez8od]

please, are there any potential dangers of using percentage in all your font sizes...if so...pls let me know. I need reply please

Maybe it's just me, but I keep hearing these stomps or heavy bass sounds in the background that are throwing me off. I had to rewind a bunch of times to double check!!!Other than that, awesome video thanks!
