Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing (leading), and letter-spacing (tracking), and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).

This is a typography class, not a calligraphy or hand-lettering class, though you may experiment with those. Our purpose is to simply, clearly, and aesthetically express words and ideas using the vessel of letterforms.
