What Is Typography?

Typography is more than just a cool font.

The definition of typography is the complete visual aesthetics of any written word: from the arrangement of your words to the spacing and more.

As such, typography is a key element in graphic design, and it can greatly influence your projects. There’s also so much to learn from it. For example, there are different types of typography, such as serif, sans serif, and decorative. And even though they’re used interchangeably, typography and fonts aren’t the same thing.
