A Brief History of Type: I found this video particularly excellent, given that it is an informative video. In my opinion, I prefer this video over the “Fun History of Type.” I feel that anyone who sees this last one will not take as much information about the topic; instead, they might get distracted by “the funny way to summarize the history of type.” Technically they are expressing the same idea but with a different approach to it. I need to say that I’m amazed by the way that the Type has evolved over the centuries. The world needs were the reasons for it to transform; initially, the only way to find writing was in the Gutenberg Bible, but only rich people could get their hands on it. The black letterforms were difficult to read, so the need for a highly readable typeface that could reach more people was what started the Type’s evolution. The reason for the creation of more typefaces can be credited to multiple events on history, like the industrialization and even WWI/WW2. It’s incredible to see how Type affects our daily lives and how it influences us to choose something depending on how the typeface visually reach us.
