Final Project: A Thousand Words

For my research project I chose the topic Typography. According to the dictionary, Typography is the art of arranging type. I read a lot about the history and how it has evolved from punches and dies in ancient times to what it is now in the Digital Age. However, reading about the arrangement of type, typefaces, leading and line length is not nearly as interesting as seeing it. For my project I illustrated the keywords that define typography. Here's a sneak peek :)
