Here’s what professors are saying about Typeface as a educational resource:
This film is important for young designers as well as typophiles of all ages. It teaches all of us the inherent beauty of typographic form, the unmatched quality of letterpress printing, the historical relevance of wood typography and the importance of the tactile in developing one’s design process. By understanding the history of wood type and the thoughtful process that went (goes) into the design and printing of these beautiful artifacts, a design student can see that there is more to visual communication than a computer screen. I would find it hard to believe that anyone interested to this discipline could not find value in this film. See it! – Joseph DiGioia, Professor of Graphic Design, Savannah College of Art and Design
Typeface is not only a valuable document on the history of visual communication, it is also a poignant commentary on the privatization of that history and how supply and demand can alter the cultural production and perception of knowledge itself. As an instructor of design history and visual studies, I would highly recommend Typeface as valuable pedagogical tool. – John Jennings, Associate Professor of Visual Studies at SUNY Buffalo
