Since designers know what I’m talking about leave them aside and tell me how many of you know what typography is?
When I brought the word typography in front of one of my colleagues at work he asked me what do you mean? So, I told him I will blog about it to answer your question.
To clarify it in the simplest way I can. Typography is a technique of arranging typefaces (Fonts) around the whitespace to create a whole design or piece of art.
Think about it as you’re arranging letters! Doest it make any sense?
I hope so ☺
Typography is used as a medium to present information and to be read by users. What you see everywhere in road signs, shampoo bottles, toothpaste, billboard, books, magazines and online...etc are all examples of typography.
Designers use it to communicate their ideas through their works. It’s an art that no one can escape it!
Interesting topic... :)
