MAY The Force {of Typography} Be With You
Meg introduces May’s blog theme and bonus challenge

Typography itself is an art. Arranging, sizing, and choosing the best fonts to make a visually satisfying statement can be hard! I saw typography defined as “the balance and interplay of letterforms on the page—a verbal and visual equation that helps the reader understand the form and absorb the substance of the page content”. (source) You have to be drawn into the content visually before you even actually READ it.
This month we are going to explore different aspects of Typography such as the terminology, rules, using it in design work, decorating, and much more so I hope you read and play along with us
