Typography is the visual part of a written texts or words. Typography is very important because it helps communicate the meaning and style better. The quote “Each font has a personality and a purpose,” means that every font is used in different situations to deliver the message in a better way. Although there are many fonts they can be classified to 5 types. These types are serif, sans serif, mono, display, and handwritten. Serif fonts have feet, sans serif don't have fee, mono have equal distances between fonts, display fonts are fancy fonts for displaying purposes and handwritten are handwritten like fonts. Serif fonts are used in large texts, sans serif would be used on the web, monospaced would be used for coding, handwritten would be used for calligraphy, and display are used to grab attention like on book covers or posters. TYpeface ComparisonIn this activity, I had to choose a text to write 5 types but with different types of fonts every time. I had to design the elements using the C.R.A.P design elements. Word portraitsIn the word portrait activity, I used different fonts and wrote two words each in the font to show the difference in how some fonts fit well with certain words and some don't.
