ฝัง

- How did Times New Roman become the default typeface we all use? Born out of anger, selected for its economics, and adopted because of its accessibility. In this video, we dive into the history of the Times New Roman typeface, how it came to be, and why is it such a staple from congress to college.

this is going to be a good one. Ricky worked on this for months!
i want chris tho
Chris and Matt...in case you might need any further convincing I just want to say that this is excellent, up there with the Paul Rand video a few months back....let Ricky do more of this kinda thing. His style and tone of delivery is spot on for this sort of content. Keep up the great work all!
Awesome video!
I really enjoy these video-documentaries.
This video was greattt
Its so well made!!! Amazingly done Ricky
Actually thought i was watching Vox towards the end and was thrown off when he talked about it. Great video though!
same
Vox explained set the stage for these types of info-snacks. But there’s nothing new underneath the sun. 😚
This is excellent! This is exactly the type of content I want more of. I would love to hear a podcast that takes this direction as well, something like Snap Judgment or Radiolab meets design.
Great to see you doing big things Ricky, I feel like I know you since I’ve seen you mostly behind the scenes for years.
I think you guys are doing a great job of building The Futur beyond Chris. You’ve now got a stable of content creators with their own unique flair that I really enjoy watching-Matthew, Greg, Ben, and now Ricky.
wow, thanks so much for these kind words
I love posters in which the use of times new roman is very blatant and painfully visible, it feels like a very bold sort of counter-movement approach to design, sort of like a design community inside joke. kinda like setting your entire portfolio site in comic sans.
You can see the amount of work put into this, so many graphics and old clips, and put together seamlessly. Really enjoyable, thank you Ricky!
The quality shows Ricky's improving for sure!! Loved this history lesson in typefaces!!! More like this for sure, definitely comparable to a Vox video!
If you wouldn't have told at the end, I'd have believed that I have just watched a Vox video about Times New Roman font! Amazing work!!
I saw the thumbnail and I had a gut feeling that this is going to be like one of the Vox explained videos. Love this type of narration and storytelling!
Tight visuals, clear storyline, good explanation. Vvvvvery high quality video. Loved watching every second of it.
Anything Ricky produce is going to be lit 🔥
Can't to watch it.
that's a bold statement.
I was a freshman in college in 1987 and I had one of the earliest Macs. I was so blown away by seeing my words on a page in TNR looking like they were printed in a book. It seems so trivial now, but it was a big leap forward.
Plantain or Plantin? Plantain sounds delicious. Plantin sounds like a good model for Times New Roman. Great video though!
2:13 used *Plantin as a base. Plantain is a type of banana. Plantin, proper spelling can also be seen at 1:22
Thank you, Mr. Nolan, you beat me to it. Cheers!
The effort gone into the edit of this video is incredible. Thank you!!!
Great work Ricky!
You're great explainer!
Glad you think so!
More videos like this please
I sincerely thought this video was an excerpt from one of the vox videos. And Vox being the best educational channel with the best graphic design. I am a huge fan of Vox and this is equally intriguing. I really hope you continue making such high-quality content.
The futur is NOW! :)
Great and interesting video!
This is amazing! I would love to see more videos like this. Great job, Ricky! 🔥
Love it, great job Ricky. Vox vibe. Vox did such an amazing job of providing such a creative and compelling style.
love that channel
Definitely do more like this, please. I really enjoyed it. I think I’ll watch it twice.
too kind
This was a great video. Informative, and fun, and very smooth. Would be happy to see more of these!
Incredible episode. Fascinating subject and excellent quality. Thanks for putting this together!!
The Vox format is awesome for this kind of videos! Keep up doing more!
Whoa, this is like a ted-Ed video. Good job Ricky! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you
Come back and visit post covid
hey you! good to see you here.
@@rickylucas Hopefully that'll be soon
I actually always liked Times New Roman. It's a no-frills font that gets the job done and, like it was said several times, it's really good for printed text.
I don't use it for design work but I still like it when I need to print large amounts of information.
This is great! Love the style and animations. Looking forward to more.
Really great video Ricky....engaging and educative, it told the story well👍🏾👌🏽
Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
Real nice work Rickey! More like this pls
love this video! the way information was presented, narrated, flowed and everything, it's was really engaging! I was even folding my laundry while listening yet it still was able to catch my attention till the end of the video
Definitely more of these kinds of videos please! Nicely done, definitely captured the Vox vibe, too.
Good research behind this 9 mint video.
Thanks Futur
This is fantastic. Well done all around.
Clear and to the point, good job! Would love to see more
When my friends ask me why your handwriting so good
I answer: "You know I'm more like a Times New Roman type of guy"
Great content, would love to hear from you guys more about graphic design history! 🤍
Awesome format and great writing! Would love to see more!
More to come!
I would love to see more of this! Great work.
Dang, I gotta work, so I'm gonna miss it live but I'll definitely rewatch it tho. I've always wondered this.
Thanks for the hard work and great content (saying it ahead of time).
Very well made video . Love this !!
Great job Ricky! This explains a lot of why I always see Time New Roman in word processors. But I have to admit it is an easy to read Typeface in print. It’s also my wife’s go to Typeface lol
We love to see more typeface history videos.
Love this. Do more of this. We need this. Mr. Do! Let him Do it!
This was great! I'd love to see more typeface history videos.
Hey! Looking good, keep up the good work!
Just a quick mention, if you watch the credits on lower res than full HD, you can't see the light weight of the font and so the text it's illegible.
Ricky thank you so much for making this! Im gonna watch it a lot of times, loved itttt!!! :')
Thank you
yeah, i was wondering why this video does not look and feel like other TheFutur videos. reminded me of Vox and a huge fan of their visual styles too. and finally Ricky confirms it as well. :)
Loving this! Looking forward to more
Loved this! Please make more
One cannot copyright a typeface, but one can copyright the name.
The font used for the Times newspaper is Times, owned by Monotype.
The Times New Roman was developed by Microsoft as a close copy, but avoided copyright issues, as was Arial a copy of Helvetica, (owned by Linotype).
Misic of "Humble" worked sooo nice in that transition 0:22
Thank you
Ricky is fantastic in front of camera, really natural. Love the VOX style format.
Loved the Vox shout out. Great video! Would love more
Loved this video!
Loved it, thank you so much. My only suggestion would be that the end credits have more contrast with the background so that they are more readable. You definitely achived that vox style, contrats!
Well done, I really enjoyed this brief history of TNR!
Nice job Rick! love the graphics and the editing. Nailed it!
🏄 my guy, thank you
hope you're doing well Aaron. Enjoying the surf/skate lifestyle?
Excelente trabajo de investigación.
Rickyyy I love this, I can see the hard work put into it!
It really gave off a Times New Roman vibe. Unique, timeless, and def reaches a wider audience.
More of this Chris et Matt 🙏🏻
Dina, youre too good to me 😋 - thank you
This was awesome! Thanks for making this. Gonna share with my community at TypeThursday!
Awesome! Thank you!
I will watch 3 times each episode on "Graphic Design History".
Guaranteed!!!
Would love to see one done about the drop cap.
This was so good! Please do more in this style.
Cant help but leave a comment about how I loved this video, really great
thanks for the educational video! yes more of these please
This video had me hooked from beginning till the end.... Informative! Also.... please bring back the logo therapy series!
Let’s see if we have any coming up.
Thank you Ricky! Love it!
You are so welcome. Glad you liked it
Awesome video!!
this was very interesting, thanks.
Love this video! ❤️
we need more videos like this!!
So fun!! Lol I watch a TH-cam from The Futur every morning and it was great to get a history lesson this morning!
do more font vids! Great summary. It's cool to see people advocate for some of these over-used fonts that people love to hate.
Love this style of video
Hell yeah! More of these videos!
yes! more content like this please!
U nailed the Vox style! Well done!
I am currently working on a theology midterm and the professor wants us to use Times New Roman. Maybe I should use it in the presentation as well
This was great!
Please make more graphic design history videos like this !
Honesty love the vox format, and love it when it's about design..
I like this format. :)
Can't wait to watch this 😍
thank you so much you did a good job i like to know to history of every typography
Am I the only one that likes the courier typeface? People say it’s hard to read but I find it quite easy. I also like that it’s monospaced. It has a unique look to it that you don’t see with typed documents today.
Yes so good. Love this history lesson! I just bought the Vintage Graphic Design book by Steven Heller and Louise Fill! Already going through it and hear him saying "its the accent" everywhere haha. Ricky! Would love to see a Vintage Typesetting version of this video! (maybe to pair nicely with the Vintage Photo video Matthew did!?).
Excellent video! It's definitely not obvious to most people that the right typeface can save money
Great video!
Nice new format guys, love your video's. Great inspiration. One thing tho, Mainz is not in between the Netherlands and begium, its a little bit more to the right and down into germany.
My bad, old maps are hard to read when comparing to new maps
Haha that's very true
Definitely a fan of this style. 👍
Absolutely this kind of vedios ROCKS
You should keep them coming! Chris and Matt, the kid's on to something...
Loved this.
Awesome more like this for sure, especially with the history included.!
Great video! Please do more of those, amazing content, it is as good as the Vox ones!
Great job! I hope Chris and Matt let you do this more, haha
5:18 The legendary Canon LBP-CX engine was the basis of both the original Apple LaserWriter and the first HP LaserJet. One popularized printing with quality type (and Adobe PostScript) at a price, the other popularized a slightly lesser quality of print at a much more affordable price.
Fantastic!
Times New Roman is actually, notwithstanding its 'mundane' association, a really great font. If you want something that is professional and subtle, it really is the only way forward. It's no coincidence that when something as important as legislature is written in England; Times New Roman is the font of choice.
Second comment:
I live Vox videos so yes, if TheFutur wants to make MORE great, educational content...please do. As I said in my original comment, I always wondered why it's was the default and it was great finding out how.
Great work to everyone at TheFutur, you guys are awesome.
