Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed.<\/p>\n

The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing<\/strong> (leading), and letter-spacing<\/strong> (tracking), and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.<\/p>\n

The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Type design is a closely related craft, sometimes considered part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers.<\/p>\n

Typography<\/a> also may be used as a decorative device, unrelated to communication of information.<\/p>\n

      Etymology<\/h2>\n

      The word “typography” in English comes from the Greek roots \u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2 typos = “impression” and -\u03b3\u03c1\u03b1\u03c6\u03af\u03b1 -graphia = “writing”.<\/p>\n

      History<\/h2>\n

      Although typically applied to printed, published, broadcast, and reproduced materials in contemporary times<\/strong>, all words, letters, symbols, and numbers written alongside the earliest naturalistic drawings by humans may be called typography.<\/p>\n

      \n

      The word, typography, is derived from the Greek<\/a> words \u03c4\u03cd\u03c0\u03bf\u03c2 typos “form” or “impression” and \u03b3\u03c1\u03ac\u03c6\u03b5\u03b9\u03bd graphein “to write”, traces its origins to the first punches and dies used to make seals and currency in ancient times, which ties the concept to printing.<\/p>\n

      Evolution<\/h2>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      The design of typefaces has developed alongside the development of typesetting systems.<\/p>\n

      Although typography has evolved significantly from its origins, it is a largely conservative art that tends to cleave closely to tradition. This is because legibility is paramount, and so the typefaces that are the most readable usually are retained.<\/p>\n

      In addition, the evolution of typography is inextricably intertwined with lettering by hand and related art forms, especially formal styles, which thrived for centuries preceding typography, and so the evolution of typography must be discussed with reference to this relationship.<\/em><\/p>\n

      Scope<\/h2>\n

      In contemporary use, the practice and study of typography include a broad range, covering all aspects of letter design and application, both mechanical (typesetting, type design, and typefaces) and manual (handwriting and calligraphy).<\/p>\n

      Typographical<\/a> elements may appear in a wide variety of situations, including:<\/p>\n
