An investigation of the history of typography and type design from the earliest developments of movable type to the global digital typography of the present day. We will look at what needs typography served in the broader culture, and how the forms of letters and their arrangements reflected those needs. We will learn about the changing technologies of type-founding and printing, and how they shaped the designs of letterforms and pages. Throughout the course we will contextualize typeforms within their contemporary visual culture, drawing relationships to fine arts, popular arts, and the broader design world.
