This is from Johann Gutenberg's font type very Black Gothic its taken from the the first ever bible ever to be printed
Out typo class with Paul was an eye opener to people who (like me) are blissfully unaware of the various Typographical jargons.Its amazing to see how typefaces have evolved since the 1420's when the first font was actually created!
Learning about typefaces.seriffs.curves and tails. Our first task was to find out what the smallest elements in a paragraph were..We chose dots and some interesting ideas were flying around eg Paul talked about this one incident when a student had to type a mail without a single space ashisspacebarwasnotworking....we realised that a dot on top of an i or j was not necessary either...full stops as a whole to mark the end of a sentence was not necessary either.Think about it!
Playing around with typo
Just out of curiosity I tried to make some of my own font gallaxy heavily borrowed from Alan fetchers version of the same which is coming under experimentations shortly
