Little Boy with Autism Perfectly Writes Typefaces with Sidewalk Chalk

Viral TikTok star Sebastian is already famous at the age of five. He’s fascinated by handwriting and typography, which he knows so well that he can write in them perfectly on broken pavement using just chalk.

Newsweek reports that Sebastian has an astonishing memory for detail. He has memorized the periodic table of elements and can write in ten different languages.

Sebastian has autism and hyperlexia, the latter of which is “an exceptional reading ability” at a very young age, but not necessarily the ability to speak what he can read and write.

In this video, Sebastian casually writes the names of typefaces in those styles like it’s easy.
