The Evolution of Letters

Since you read this blog, you surely know the importance of typeface in design work by now, but have you ever wondered who decided that a G was shaped like a G? Calligrapher Seb Lester is giving a historical journey back in time of how the Latin alphabet has looked through the ages. Personally, I’m glad we don’t have to try to read some of the old style letters anymore! Each short video goes through one letter during various times in written history, and they’re so soothing to watch. The best part: Seb plans to make it all the way through Z, so there is more to come!
