Dirty and All Creative presents Colophon Foundry documentary short
In collaboration with educational learning platform All: Creative, Dirty Films are proud to present to you a documentary featuring typographic superstars Colophon Foundry.
The short documentary illustrates the everyday importance, intricacy and craft that goes into good typography, and helps informs the younger creatives how one can find a path to the world of working in typography.
The typographers leading us through their knowledge are Colophon-founders Ed Harrington and Anthony Sherret. Together, they highlight the tiny details of typography, emphasising how typography is like a language in itself capable of eliciting a range of different emotions.
This short 6-minute documentary is lively, witty and has the capacity to engage a plethora of different people, much as the way Ed and Anthony can make fonts which are aesthetically pleasing for just about anyone.
