Typeface ComparisonTypography is the visual component of the written word. Typography is important because when you use typography, you can emphasize a word, and tell the readers a hidden meaning. The quote "Each font has a personality and a purpose" means that each and every font is different and is unique in its own way, and has a meaning. There are 5 different types of fonts, Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced, Handwritten, and Novelty. Serif font have "feet," is used in large blocks of texts, and used in print. Sans Serif fonts do not have "feet," is good for headlines, titles, and smaller chunks of text, and used one the web. Monospaced fonts do not work well for large blocks of text, used in coding, and each letter takes up the same amount of space. Handwritten fonts are cursive, calligraphic, or handwritten, sometimes is difficult to read, and it is good for logos, large headlines, and details. Novelty fonts gains attention, used sparingly, and it's popularity comes and goes. From these two projects, I have learned that typography is always used in everyday life, is used for many. different purposes, and etc. Typeface ComparisonIn the Typeface Comparison activity I was assigned to create an example text for each font, give the font's name, and Label the type of font. I had to use 5 different fonts Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced, Handwritten, and Novelty. I did what the assignment told me to do step-by-step. Word PortraitsIn the Word Portraits assignment, I was assigned to use 10 fonts and 20 words. I had to use 2 words per font and I had to use a word that directly contradicts to the look and feel of each and a word that is not good for that font. For this assignment, I followed the step one-by-one and applied what I learned about the C.R.A.P design principles and completed the assignment.
