I learned that typography means, "The style and appearance of printed matter." Typography is the way of sharing ideas and conveying emotions through typing and fonts. It is important because it is one of the only ways to convey emotions and ideas through typing on the internet. It is a way someone can use technology to catch attention and fonts add a type of style to the writing that you can't achieve without fonts. The quote, "Each font has a personality and a purpose”. means that each font has a type of style or words that fit the context of the font while some words simply contrast the font picked. The 5 different fonts are Serif, San Serif, Monospaced, Script/Handwritten, and Novelty. Serif has "feet" and that stick out on the end of the letters and you would use this font when you are writing in large blocks of texts or if your writing in print. San Serif does not have "feet" and it is good for small texts and titles and it is used on the web. Monospaced is made so that each letter has the same amount of space as the others so it is horrible for large blocks of text. It is also used in coding. Script/Handwritten is cursive, calligraphic, or handwritten. It is difficult to read so it's good for logos and details but it is bad for large blocks of text. Novelty is good attention catchers and you should use these sparingly. These used to be popular. You should use these as logos or titles to catch attention. Typeface ComparisonFor the Typeface Comparison, we had to create an A4 size Gravit document and have 5 different web fonts. The web fonts included Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced, Script/Handwritten, and Novelty. For each example of a web font, we had to label the font's name and the type of font. Word PotraitsWe had to choose 10 different fonts from the Gravit library and we need to find one word that matches the font and one word that contrasts the font.
