Learn all about typography with this superb animated short film

We can’t even imagine how dedicated you’d have to be to put this five minute animated film together, but we’re definitely enjoying the results – and learning a lot about type faces along the way.

Put together by  Ben Barrett at Forrest Media, the film takes the form of a paper-letter animation explaining the history of fonts and typography.

Creating the stop frame animation involved making 291 paper letters and 2,454 photographs and 140 hours of work.
