Brief introductoin to typography

According to OpenAI, Typography is the art and technique of arranging type in order to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed.

Typography is about the use of fonts.

Fonts are ubiquitous (present and found everywhere).

Your computer has a large selection of font sets.

In addition, included in the Adobe Creative Cloud package is a large selection of fonts. So take a look: click on the Creative Cloud icon in your computer’s top bar to open the Creative Cloud window. Then click on the “f” symbol near the top right which opens a web page then click on “browse more fonts” top right; The rest is obvious and you can automatically install fonts onto your computer.

While browsing the various fonts from Adobe, look at the different font classifications, like Slab Serif, Script, Hand, and Decorative.

Also, Google Fonts provides a very large selection of free fonts that you can download and install on your computer. And there are many other free (and of course paid) font resources.
