TYPOGRAPHY AS A STATEMENT OF DESIGN
21 / 24 pt
While alphabet was created as a way to communicate through written symbols, it now serves another purpose; to create design. There is a science or a scientific purpose behind different functions of typography for example, kerning, lea-ding, columns, point size, line length, etc. It is much more than just letters and words on a page. In much the same way that tone of voice can alter a message, typography has power to communi- cate a great deal simply through the forms of the letters and their layout on a page. The functions of typography help in to undertand and interpret a written message.
12 / 14 pt
Typography as a function of design is a very important element in itself. Typography is like fashion, or furniture. With rare func- tional exceptions, the world doesn’t “need” new clothing or furniture designs, but people want to look different or evoke a par- ticular feeling or fit with a particular “look”, and there are trends and styles. This explain the effects of font choices in visual perception and visual communication, and furthermore mentions the letter and font specifications that should be act accordingly in written documents for the message that is the essence of the communcation to be understood better.

FONT CREATION & SKELETON
For horizontal emphasis and letter balance there is a slight inclination towards the direction of reading.
The skeleton of Senta Sans is ispired by Helvetica, with less point as possible in order to obtain the perfect curvature.
The thickness of the stroke is made with a medium contrast for more legibility.
