Typography

16 Sep, 2007

According to the definition that I found at Wikipedia

Typography is the method and technique of the handling and type selection, originally made of lead to crear impressed works and documents.

I bet that if you’re not a Graphic Designer student or if you have never heard of this before, right now you should have a big question mark written down all over your face.

 First of all: What is a type?

 A type is nothing else but the fonts we use when we work from our computers. Those letters, both in lower case and capital letters, the numbers, punctuation marks, etc.

 Now that you know this, we can say that typography is the group of all the fonts that you have in your computer.
