Typography

=**Typography & Letterform**=

Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic artists, art directors, and clerical workers. Until the Digital Age, typography was a specialized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users. || media type="youtube" key="2o1U4o1bc2k&rel=1" height="355" width="425" ||
 * Typography is the art and techniques of type design, modifying type glyphs, and arranging type. Type glyphs (characters) are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type is the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing) and letter spacing.

Multiple master fonts contain one or more "masters" — that is, original font styles — and enable a user to interpolate these font styles along a continuous range of "axes." With proper application support, these axes can be adjusted on demand. From one MM font, it is conceivable to create a wide gamut of typeface styles of different widths, weights and proportions, without losing the integrity or readability of the character glyphs. ||
