The Art of Typography

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing (leading), and letter-spacing (tracking).

History

The history of typography dates back to the first punches and dies used to make seals and currency in ancient times, which ties the concept of movable type to the origins of printing itself.
