typography Noun- The style and arrangement of text, either
printed on paper or displayed on a screen Note: Typography– old and new
In the mid-1400’s, Johann Gutenberg invented moveable type, which consisted of small blocks with raised letters on them. When the blocks were inked and pressed onto a piece of paper, they formed printed letters. The printed images became known as type because the letters always looked the same; they had a standard form (or type). Today, printing is usually done by computer, but the way we design our documents is still known as typography.
