The definition of typography is the technique used to deliver a meaning. You can do this with different fonts, color, and sizes. For example, if you wanted something to seem important, you would write it in a font that conveys a similar meaning. The quote "Each font has a personality and a purpose." means that a font can express different things better than another font. For example, you wouldn't write something happy in a font that seems like the writing is written in blood. There are five types of fonts that we learned about, such as serif, sans serif, monospace, novelty, and script. A serif font would be used when writing something formal, like a letter or a collage application. A sans serif font is less formal than a serif font. You could use it when you are writing something like a story. A monospace font is usually used in coding. A novelty font is a font that is playful. You could use a novelty font to accent some parts of your writing. The last type of of font we learned about is a script font. It is very fancy, and you would probably use it the same way you would use a novelty font. Typeface ComparisonFor this activity, we used our knowledge of the different types of fonts to compare the different types of fonts. We used the same text as an example, and I used, "This is a font." We had to align and space all the words carefully, so that it looked pleasing. I made sure that all the names of the fonts were the same size, and font, while I also made the type of font the same size and font with each other. I learned to distinguish the differences between the different type of fonts. Word PortraitsIn this activity, we had to use 10 different fonts to show that every font has a meaning. I made sure the names of the fonts were all the same size, and that the words were aligned with each other, so that it looked eye-pleasing. I learned to be able to see how a font can show different meaning depending on the shape of the font. I used fonts such as Bahiana, Biegelow Rules, Butcherman, etc.
