The art of Hermann Zapf (c. 1967) 

Hear the master preach the calligraphy gospel: Calligraphy and typography legend Zapf explains history, techniques, and his helpful tips for calligraphic writing and art.

Also of note: the great shots of early computers “in action” at the very end of the video (as he mentions the continuing importance of typography and the letterer in what was to be the start of the digital age). Lights flashing and punchcards being read… Mechanics!
