Font Men: This video gives an insight on how difficult and the process of creating a typeface. The idea that the many of the of typefaces that was created but a good chunk of it doesn’t work in different kinds of content as if the typefaces speak a language really interest me. It’s really intriguing to see how long it takes to create a typeface because of the process of deciding the design of it such as the spacing, weight, serifs and so on.

Mike Langley: This short video follows around Mike Langley telling us his passion for art and typography.
