Typophile is a community of type enthusiasts that covers everything on the topic. Handcrafted by BYU design students and faculty, for the 5th Typophile Film Festival, a fun video that appeals to all senses. A visual typographic feast about the five senses, and how they contribute to and enhance our creativity. Everything in the film is real—no CG effects!

It’s really fun to watch, and is quite amazing to think that it was completely made without any computer generated graphics, only stop motion.These opening titles are a clear result of pure type love, each section has been carefully produced and revolve completely around the letters, forms and display of the fonts in different applications. There’s so much craft and precision behind it that it’s admirable. It was shot with a RED One, a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a Canon EOS 40D, and a Nikon D80.Details of the film are as follows;
