Typography and music

I haven't posted anything this week because it's Half term vacation at the moment and both boys don't have school. But today is fun Friday.

Here are a few video clips I found on You Tube, that combine music and typography.

This is from a band named Cuarteto de Nos. They use an Egyptienne in their clip. You can recognise an Egyptienne by the straight serifs. The name Egyptienne is from the 20's when Egypt was very popular because of the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.




The typeface Impact is always good for attracting attention. It was used a lot on posters. I think Citizen Cope uses Impact.



Jean-François Coen's uses type from the streets for the lyrics. A well made vid worth seeing.



Enjoy your weekend.
