When it comes to typography tutorials, it's great to experiment with written tutorials and project files. However, sometimes all you want is a thorough walk-through video to help explain things better.
And that's just what we've curated for all you lovely readers. From kinetic type to working with images, there's sure to be something to get your teeth into. And don't worry, this isn't all there is: we'll be updating the feature with more type videos in the coming weeks.

Typographers and fans of creative fonts will be familiar with the work of self-taught, master pinstriper Glen Weisgerber. Painting letters for race cars, logos, guitars, trucks and motorbikes, Weisgerber has been at the top of his game since the 1970s.
