Typography makes at least two kinds of sense, if it makes any sense at all. It makes visual sense
and historical sense. The visual side of typography is always on display, and materials for the study of its visual form are many and widespread. The history of letter- forms and their usage is visible too, to those with access to manuscripts, inscriptions andold books, but from others it is largely hidden. This book has therefore grown into some-thing more than a short manual of typo-graphic etiquette. It is the fruit of a lot of long walks in the wilderness of letters: in part a pocket field guide to the living wonders that are found there, and in part a meditation on the ecological principles, survival techniques, and ethics that apply. The principles of typography as I understand them are not a set of dead conventions but the tribal customs of the magic forest, where ancient voices speak from all directions and new ones move to unremembered forms. One question, nevertheless, has been often in my mind. When all right-thinking human beings are struggling to remember that other men and women are free to be different,6and free to become more different still, how can one honestly write a rulebook? What reason and authority exist for these commandments,
suggestions, and instructions? Surely typographers, like others, ought to be at liberty to follow or to blaze the trails they choose. Typography thrives as a shared concern - and there are no paths at all where there are no shared desires and directions. A typographer determined to forge new routes must move, like other solitary travellers, through uninhabited country and against the grain of the land, crossing common thoroughfares in the silence before dawn. The subject
of this book is not typographic solitude, but the old, well- travelled roads at the core of the tradition: paths that each of us is free to follow or not, and to enter and leave when we choose - if only we know the paths are there and havea sense of where they lead. That freedom is denied us if the tradition is concealed or left for dead. Originality is everywhere, but much originality is blocked if the way back to earlier discoveries is cut or overgrown. If you use this book as a guide, by all means leave the road when you wish. That is pre- cisely the use of a road: to reach individu- ally chosen points of departure. By all means break
the rules, and break them beautifully, deliberately, and well. That is one of the ends for which they exist.Letterforms change constantly, yet differ very little, because they are alive. The principles of typographic clarity

Typography makes at least two kinds of sense, if it makes any sense at all. It makes visual sense
and historical sense. The visual side of typography is always on display, and materials for the study of its visual form are many and widespread. The history of letter- forms and their usage is visible too, to those with access to manuscripts, inscriptions andold books, but from others it is largely hidden. This book has therefore grown into some-thing more than a short manual of typo-graphic etiquette. It is the fruit of a lot of long walks in the wilderness of letters: in part a pocket field guide to the living wonders that are found there, and in part a meditation on the ecological principles, survival techniques, and ethics that apply.

snaps The snaps were used as an exercise to experiment with type and the different functions it can add to a design. Each week we would add on different elements such as rule, bold, repetition, and color. As we added on each new element, it completely altered the way type was seen and used among each design piece. Snaps gave me a new perspective on how type can completely change design and how it can add character to a design, or become the design itself.

Goudy Old Style is a classic serif type-face created by Frederic W. Goudy in 1915. Founded by the American Type Founders, Goudy Old Style’s design is very graceful and balanced with an up-ward curved ear on the letter G as one of it’s main characteristics. The font also re-placed the circular shape found in punctuation such as periods and exclamation marks with a di-amond shape, as well as for the dot over the letters J and I. Some of the letters also have a calligraphic quality such as the letter Q as the serif feet are quite round and curved. Goudy is suggested to have a Venetian influence due to its rounded, curvilinear glyphs. This type-face is considered to be among one of the most legible serif typefaces for use in print and is used in Harper Bazaar Magazine.
