Typography
Typography design is a key element of a designer's skill set. The typeface you choose and how it works with your layout, grid, colour scheme and more can make or break a design.
The art and technique of arranging type involve much more than merely making words legible, but the field of typography design is packed with jargon, which can sometimes make it seem rather arcane to outsiders. There's terminology for everything from the correct names for the different parts of letterforms to terms related to their arrangement within a design. To help make things clearer for newcomers to the field – and even more experienced designers who might want a refresher – this is our complete glossary of typography design terms and concepts.
