Canadian graphic designer and animator Ben Barrett-Forrest has created this instructive little animation about the history of fonts. A stop-motion video made with 291 paper letters and 2,454 photographs, showing the evolution of typography starting from Gutenburg's blackletter, explaining the roots of Roman, Caslon, Baskerville, getting towards the end to sans serifs types and the transformations of fonts with new tecnologies and computers. Pretty useful isn't it?
