Typefaces gives us signals – Erik Spiekermann raps!

For some excellent musings on typography and design from the very wonderful Erik Spiekermann, you simply must watch this great video, written by Mike Croft, featuring Erik Spiekermann; produced by Alphabeat & Parson Research:

A prolific designer, Erik has been responsible for some of the best typeface designs of the last 20 years, was the co-founder of FontShop and has designed faces for Nokia and The Economist.

We would also heartily recommend his seminal book, Stop Stealing Sheep

Baaa-rilliant!
