If you’re one for clever wordplay, these animated metaphors will put your day into motion and have you smiling write away.

In a video titled ‘disillusionment of 10 point font’, New York-based filmmaker and illustrator Greg Condon wittily manipulates letterforms written on his Smith-Corona ‘Galaxie Deluxe’ Typewriter to represent their literal meanings. The results will have you saying “word”.

Watch these terms come to life in the video below. If you’re reminiscent over the charm of an old-timey typewriter, type away like it’s 1868 with this retro keyboard.
