Whether in print or on-screen, typographic presence in good design is always evident. This course introduces the anatomy of letterforms, principles of typographic usage, and fundamentals of choosing and combining type, as well as the terminology of typography. Along with the anatomy of the letterform, you will explore distinctions between typefaces, typographic usage, and shaping the page with type. Past and contemporary typographers and their contribution to design and the written language will be discussed. By the end of this course, you will successfully apply typographic knowledge to your design projects.
