TYPOGRAPHY𒀤
TYPOGRAPHY𒀤
Typography can be dated back to the 11th century, during the innovation of movable type. Before the digital age, typography was a specialized craft associated with books and magazines, and eventually public works. The first example of typography can be seen in the Gutenberg Bible, which kick-started a typography revolution in the west. Fun fact: the style of type used in the Gutenberg Bible is now known as Textura, and you’ll find it in the font drop down menu on major desktop applications today!
Fast forward to modern day, where typography is mostly associated with both the digital world and print. With the birth of the internet came a creative explosion of the art of typography. Suddenly, web designers had an abundance of fonts and type options at their disposal, making typography more visually diverse than ever before
