Typography is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs to create beautiful and easy-to-read graphic art prints. Typography has long been a vital part of promotional material and advertising. Fonts used in advertisements convey different messages to the reader, classical fonts are for a strong personality, while more modern fonts are for a cleaner, neutral look. Bold fonts are used for making statements and attracting attention.
