Typography is the art of arranging type for the purpose of making written language legible, appealing, and readable when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, line lengths, point sizes, letter spacing, and line spacing, as well as adjusting the space between pairs of letters. The term typography is also used to refer to the arrangement, and appearance of the numbers, symbols, and letters created by the process. Type design is a craft closely related to this one, sometimes considered part of it – most typographers don’t design typefaces, and some type designers don’t consider themselves typographers. It also may be used as an ornamental and decorative device completely unrelated to the communication of information.
