My weekly round up of typographic goodness from around the web.

Video: Typeface (the film) Trailer
Justine Nagan’s feature-length documentary Typeface tells the story of the Hamilton Wood Type Museum in rural Wisconsin. Created on a $100,000 budget, the film focuses on the Midwestern museum’s struggle to stay relevant in today’s digital age. Great write up on idsgn. Order the DVD.

LOL: Shit Ampersand
Like most of you, I love a good ampersand. I also hate to see this venerable symbol abused. So do the brave souls at Shit Ampersand. They takes on the the worst ampersand designs in typographic history. I particularly enjoy the pithy commentary and little ampersand rating system.

Chime in: “Web fonts” or “Webfonts”?
Typophile discussion in progress aimed toward solving this conundrum once and for all. I tend toward web fonts. What’s your take?
