The first bit of work I did for this project was create a paragraph going over typography. Here I covered a range of terms alongside an analysis of Fonts.
Typography is the process and techniques of displaying text to make it look legible and appealing for people to look at. There is a range of descriptions that can be applied to the text, the style and overall arrangement.
Serif
A traditional style, Serifs are the small lines placed usually at the end of a large stroke in a letter or symbol within the font. A Serif font is one which has these present in most lettering and symbols. There are four types of Serif – old style, transitional, Didone and slab serif.
Sans Serif
Sans Serif fonts are fonts which don’t include the Serif on the end of letters and strokes, instead being more simplistic in their design. These usually have generally less stroke width variation than Serif fonts too, being usually used to represent simplicity and modern style.
