Ever wanted to be a dab hand at typography? Well check out this new art video above and it just might give you a few pointers.

Created by director Kevin Steen the video focuses on the brilliant typographer Jon Contino as he talks about his love for the design form, how he got to be as good as he is and why he thinks doing it by hand is best.

Now here’s the bad news. As Contino says in the video he basically works every hour or every day to get as good as he is so if you want a typography career you’re probably going to have to show the same levels of dedication.

Check out the video above then grab the nearest pen and paper and get practising.
