I have several friends who, when the discussion turns to font style or letterpress printing, become flush around the cheek area and proceed to excuse themselves to a bathroom for around five minutes to "freshen up" (aka: masturbate) before coming back to chime in with their opinions on the matter. Now, usually I ignore the fact that my friends become sexual deviants in the presence of what I perceive as a mundane subject because if I didn't, the fact that I am sitting next to someone with a huge boner because I mentioned the word "Kerning" would upset me (and don't get me started on what occurs when I say "X-Height"...it's simply too gross to explain).
But I can live with these inappropriate people because I like them (even if their sexual predilection is severely off-putting).
So, to indulge in what I like to call Typographic Pornography, may I present an animated short that will go in depth into the history of fonts and other things that arouse the senses of graphically-inclined perverts.
You might want to watch this separate from anyone who gets off on the alphabet...If you don't there's a good chance you're going to end up in a Sans Serif pile getting baselined without your consent.
