What is Typography

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The term typography is also applied to the style, arrangement, and appearance of the letters, numbers, and symbols created by the process.Most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers.Typography also may be used as a decorative device, unrelated to communication of information.

Typography is the work of typesetters (also known as compositors), typographers, graphic designers, art directors, manga artists, comic book artists, graffiti artists, and, now, anyone who arranges words, letters, numbers, and symbols for publication, display, or distribution, from clerical workers and newsletter writers to anyone self-publishing materials.Until the Digital Age, typography was a specialized occupation.
