TYPOGRAPHY

Typography is a type of art with a purpose. The painstaking craft of the typographer is dedicated to the creation of legible and readable characters for printing, driven by functionality.

Typographers are individuals who design and style type for both online and print publications. They are also known as layout artists and desktop publishers. While they get to use their creative abilities, they frequently face the stress of meeting deadlines, which may require them to work long hours.

Typography practise and study in modern usage cover a wide range of topics, including all aspects of letter design and application, both mechanical (typesetting, type design, and typefaces) and manual (handwriting and calligraphy).

TYPOGRAPHIC ELEMENTS CAN BE FOUND IN A WIDE RANGE OF CONTEXTS, INCLUDING:

The art of arranging a message in an aesthetically pleasing and readable composition is known as typography design. It is a necessary component of design. Typography requires the designer to work with pre-existing typefaces rather than creating their own letterforms.
