Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make the text legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. It is one of the most critical components of design and plays a significant role in the overall aesthetic and readability of a document.
Key Aspects of Typography
- Font Selection: Choosing the right font can greatly impact the readability and tone of the document. Sans-serif fonts are often used for modern, clean designs, while serif fonts provide a more traditional, classic look.
- Line Spacing: Proper line spacing ensures that the text is easy on the eyes and prevents overcrowding.
- Tracking and Kerning: Tracking refers to the spacing between characters, while kerning is the spacing between individual letters. Both are important for ensuring legibility.
