Believe it or not, there is a sub-section of humanity that enjoys typography (fonts to you & me) as a hobby. And although I am not a typophile myself, having been involved in Web design over the years, I do enjoy considering the relative merits of different font types. There's even a society, SOTA, The Society of Typographic Officionados. Can you believe that?
But the latest in-thing to hit the radar is called Kinematic Typography, where people produce stunning textual font presentations to audio movie clips. I particularly enjoyed the above clip, both as an example of this new artistic fad and also for the deliciously well-written speech of the protagonist in the film, V for Vendetta.
For more examples, you can visit alwayswatching.org but beware because most of the clips are fairly brutal in content.
