TYPE LEGEND ERIK SPIEKERMANN

If you are interested in design you will find this film very interesting. In this little film Erik Spiekermann compares type design to music, shares his design process and talks about how type has a face. My favorite parts are when he talks about team work and his belief that design can change lives.
