CHOOSING A FONT
TYPOGRAPHY
SERIF
VERSUS
San-Serif
Typography (from the Greek words 凌
(typos) = form and 粒留流 (graphe) =
writing) is the art and technique of
arranging type in order to make language
visible. The arrangement of type involves
the selection of typefaces, point size, line
length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the
spaces between groups of letters (tracking)
and adjusting the space between pairs of
letters (kerning[2]).
