4/29/2021 0 Comments TypographyTypography is a style and appearance that is printed. Typography is important because it makes the text easy for the reader to look at, understand, and it also affects how the reader takes in the text. The quote "each font has a personality and a purpose" means that there is always a purpose for choosing a certain font because it fits the mood of the text better than others. Serif- has "legs" on the ends of the letters and is usually used in articles, newspapers, etc. Sans Serif- opposite of serif, smooth, also used in magazines, newspapers, etc. Monospaced- each letter takes up the same amount of space and is most commonly seen in computer programming and coding. Handwritten- appears to be written by hand and is often used in invitations, involving calligraphy. Display- a funky, eye-catching font that is usually only used as a title in posters or advertisements to catch people's eyes. Typeface ComparisonFor the typeface comparison, we were supposed to find one font for each of the following styles: a serif font, a sans serif font, a monospaced font, a handwritten font, and a display font. Below I typed the word "Bubblegum" five times in the five different font styles. Word portraitsFor the word portraits, we were assigned to find 10 different fonts and think of two words for each font: one word that fit the style and one that did not. I think this assignment shows how big of a different the font makes when trying to get your message across.
