What is Typography?

All text involves typography.

You've seen them in advertisements, road signs, packaging, and so much more.

So what is typography?

Like the clothes you wear, it gives you a sense of self-expression.

Typography gives text a style to communicate its message.

We know that this is for a video game, a high fashion editorial magazine, and a whimsical circus.

These styles are distinguished as typefaces.

A typeface is the collective name of designed characters.

Back when words were written by hand, books were costly to make.

A man named Johannes Gutenberg revolutionized print with movable type.

Reverse letters casted on the ends of lead alloys were dipped in ink to print letters on a page.

And so later on, with letters being carved by different people, it led to a variety of styles which we know as typefaces today.

Now that you've had a taste of what typography is, get out there and spread the knowledge.
