PBS Arts received many comments on this video but I liked this one: If words have meaning and type has spirit then handwriting got soul! shaunoconnordotnet
There are innumerable fonts and imaginative ways to express letters and numbers. Paul Octavious stacks books to create numbers.
BYGG Studios has designed an entire alphabet of stacked books. 
Brain Pickings has put together their list of 10 Essential Books on Typography.
And the Athenaeum recently bought Simon Garfield’s
Just My Type. As they say in the video: you need type again and again and again to get through the day, to live your life.
