The History of Typography

Thankfully I arrived to this lecture on time, so I was able to actually hear the start of it. The lecturer went over some of the key points in the evolution of typography over the years. How different types of font has different types of impressions on people. The use of different types of fonts has changed over the centuries. From the use of gothic blackletter  in religious texts to the nazi propaganda, the idea and feeling of certain font types has changed meaning according to who were using them and what for. I have spent two years as a graphic design student at my old high school.. My class had been over the history of fonts repeatedly during my time there, so I may have more of an appreciation for it.
