A typeface has a lot to say.

In college we had a game where we spoke type. Bold, Italic, Gill Sans, Caslon, Times basically expressing the personalities of the typeface and means of emphasis. I didn't say it was a brilliant game but it was entertaining. Enjoy the following Video

Typography animation for The Features song "Still Lost" off their forthcoming album "Some Kind of Salvation"

Did you see what he did to '
Caslon Open Face' in the middle of the video!. {NarroW} I'm still trying to decide if, in context of the song, it's OK. Apart from that a beautiful video. Caslon around since 1722 the creation of William Caslon, though Caslon Open Face designed by Barnhart Brothers and Spindler in 1915. Elegant typographic detail/ decoration.

I've watched the video a few times. It creeps me out every time that 'NARROW' condensed treatment of Caslon in the 'Still Lost' video. It's cruel.
