One of my favorites: V for Vendetta in Kinetic Typography

Note 1: Some of the videos contain French of the bawdy kind so some of the videos aren’t for the soft at heart

Note 2: Pulp Fiction in Kinetic Typography is another great vid (although you should keep the previous note in mind)

2. From Typographica: Favorite Typefaces of 2007 (a.ka. the Oscars of Typography)

3. Does Olicana remind you of Benjamin Franklin. Or is it just me?

Olicana by Nick Cooke

4. Another great example of typography in motion (well worth the download if typography is your cup of tea)

5. If you ever want to have some real fun with typography (like designing your own font, for example), this interview with Jos Buivenga is a great place to start (this wiki from Typophile is also a good starting point)

6. Characteristics of Type on the Web from the Web Style Guide
