Typography:
Typography is basically words that are visually attractive and this can be very powerful. Willi Kunz states 'The function of typography is to communicate a message so that it effectively conveys both its intellectual meaning and its emotional feeling'.

In this lecture, we learnt the difference between typeface and font as font is it use and typeface is what you see. We also were taught about typeface terminology through informative diagrams such as this one:

This is advanced and confusing at first and I was unfamiliar with most of the terminology. However, after the terminology section of the lecture, some interesting examples of typography was shown. We saw works from Johannes Gutenberg, Felice Feliciano,William Morris, Edward Johnson, Barry Deck and many others. This lecture was mainly a history lesson in typography to show how it had evolved, especially with the advancing of technology. I have placed some examples that I found interesting and had a big influence on typography.

This font is used for London's Underground travel system and is very popular. This is an example of how technology has influenced typography as well as graphics on a whole.
