Typography is Design

Typography is crucial in any design.Â What is Typography?Â Â Typography (Etymology: typosâ€”type, graphosâ€”written) is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).Â Found these cool typographic inspired posters that I am sure will show you what I mean.Â They may seem like just letters in the alphabet but when combined in an artistic way, they can be transformed into works of art.
