Typography is the visual component of the written word. It is important because it gives the first impression of something. If it is a book, the customer will most likely buy a book that looks good and interesting. Typography is important because of that. The quote "each font has a personality and purpose" means that every font goes well with different words and different situations. The five type of fonts we learned in class was serif, sans serif, mono spaced, hand written and display. Serif fonts have the small feet but sans serif fonts don't. Monospaced fonts have the same space in between each letter. Handwritten fonts are handwritten/cursive style. Lastly, display fonts are unique fonts that stick out. Serif fonts are mostly used in writing, sans serif fonts are the most commonly used. Monospaced fonts are usually used for type writers and for computter programming. Handwritten fonts are also used for writing and display fonts can be used for a signboard. Type face comparisonFor this activity, I wrote a word 5 times showing the differences of the 5 main fonts I mentioned above. Word portraitsIn this activity, I chose 10 fonts and I had to write 1 word that matches the style of the font and 1 word that doesn't match the style of the font with the font I chose.
