Typografi er utforming og behandling av skrift, bokstaver og andre grafiske elementer i trykkerfaget og i grafisk design. Begrepet brukes også om den visuelle formen på trykt tekst. Typografi er et håndverk som oppstod med boktrykkerkunsten på 1500-tallet med setting og trykking av tekst ved hjelp av ulike teknikker. Faget omfatter kunnskap om leselighet, form og innhold, skrifttyper og -størrelser, linjelengde og -avstand, formater, papir, formgivning, farge og ulike trykkteknikker, og utføres i dag digitalt ved hjelp av digitale ombreknings- eller tekstbehandlingsprogrammer. Fagpersoner med typografisk utdannelse kalles typografer.

“Foundry” or “Fry” Baskerville is a later face based on the original Baskerville, which was cut by the Joseph Fry foundry in 1764. This cutting takes the face more in the direction of the Didots. Rogers used it for display with the original Baskerville as text font. Mrs. Eaves, by Zuzana Licko, is a revival of Baskerville that attempts to soften its hard edges by reducing its contrast, lowering the x-height, and widening the lower case. Mrs. Eaves (named for Baskerville’s companion) is a popular and attractive face that includes a number of ligatures and other features. But some say it has spacing problems. Hrant H Papazian, for example, wrote on the typophile forum, “The problem with Mrs Eaves isn’t just that the spacing is messy (with only 40-something kerning pairs to patch things

John Baskerville. Baskerville, who had made a fortune in japanning before turning to printing when in his midforties, was responsible for several advances in printing technology, improving press platens and packings, formulating darker and faster-drying inks, and inventing wove paper, which was smoother than the old laid papers with their vertical ribbing. all of this enabled him to employ a typeface with sharper definition and thinner elements than was previously possible. This marks the move from the “garalde” to the transitional faces.
