Typography is how something appears and looks like, it's mostly what the written word looks like. Typography is important because today people often look at something and judge it right away just by how it looks, so it's important for people to create things that are appealing to look at. The quote "Each font has a personality and a purpose," means that not every font can be used for the same thing. Every font has a different thing they're used for. The five fonts we learned in class are Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced, Script or Handwriting, and Display. Serif fonts have "feet" and are usually used in large blocks of text and print. Sans Serif fonts don't have "feet" and are used for headlines, titles, smaller blocks of text, and the web. Monospaced fonts are used in coding, doesn't work well with large blocks of text, and each letter has the same amount of space. Script fonts include cursive, calligraphy, and handwriting and are good for logos, big headlines, and details. They can also be hard to read. Display fonts are used to get attention from someone, used in small quantities, and its popularity can come and go.
