The Art of Type is a panel discussion about typography from Extensis, go and listen now!

“This year at the Macworld Conference and Expo, we hosted a number of expert font panel discussions at our booth on the show floor. The discussions turned out quite well, and for those of you who were unable to make it to the show, we’re happy to report that we recorded everything!”

This is going to be super interesting for anybody who enjoys quality films, from up-an-coming directors. The Sundance Film Festival is showing their entries online!

Here is what they are saying: “Invited from the same short film program as its namesake event, this exclusive collection of premiere work in short filmmaking premieres first in Park City, Utah — and then rolls-out streaming to you. Free from anywhere in the world.”

And here are the others

Go look at Typographica for more typomania

“Typographica is a journal of typography featuring news, observations, and open commentary on fonts and typographic design”

 - Shaft

Inspired by the occasion, Gary Hustwit has produced and directed Helvetica – which must be the first feature-length documentary about a single typeface. Shot in the United States, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France and Belgium, the film includes interviews with Erik Spiekermann, (the excellent) Wim Crouwel, Neville Brody, Stefan Sagmeister, David Carson, Norm, Experimental Jetset and many more… The film is currently in post-production, but should be released early this year.
