Typography 101

     Typography involves arranging type in ways that make it visible and pleasing to the eye. Many

techniques are used in creating a typographic work of art. Selecting fonts, typefaces, font size, as well as

adjusting the leading, tracking, and kerning of the text are just some of those techniques.

      A pangram is a sentence that contains all the letters of the alphabet. "The quick brown fox jumps over

the lazy dog" is the most well-known pangram so I decided to use it as an example sentence in the type

above.

Leading - the space between lines of text.
Tracking - the spaces between a group of letters.
Kerning - the space between a pair of letters.

     The above example shows how leading, tracking, and kerning are used in typography. In a future post I

will go deeper into explaining the three and show how to adjust each one.
