Erik Spiekermann: Typomania

[@Steve290554]

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

[@tonkpils667]

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

[@ludmilabavrina6429]

THAT'S AMAZING! I LOVED IT AND THE SENSE OF HUMOR. MADE MY DAY.

This is such an old video. To me it's really amusing to hear Spiekermann's British accent. His English is way more fluent with "r"s. Wonder if this was made for Brit kids.

[@Blocoism]

Anyone know what year this was made? Love the track at the beginning of this vid too!

[@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?

[@gusphraba]

And then read the dozens of corrections on typo blogs.

Does anyone know the track at 3:00 ? thx !

[@Kiaralight]

interesting..

[@jeffffff]

3:36 we're in Egypt!

[@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

[@spieki]

I am German and how would you recognize a German sense of humor? Speak the language?

[@markgrinberg]

thanks!!

[@Panchobeto]

What is the name of the song at the beginning?
