Type & Typography - Phil Baines & Andrew Haslam

Reading through type and typography for a grounding on type and to trigger any possible experiments which could be used for my visual research.



Helpful Notes

- Typography is concerned with the structuring and arranging of visual language.
- Type design is concerned with creation of the units to be arranged, the characters which make up a typeface.

- Typography appearance & style differs according to time and place, or designer and client: at times typography may play a secondary or even invisible role, at others it may dominate reflecting the inspiration of the designer and on occasion even laying claim to 'art'.
