Reflection and Takeaways
What I learned about type history and design is that typefaces weren’t just made to use whenever but they were each designed with a purpose. Typefaces have reasons why they are the way the are for example, Comic Sans being highly legible which helped a lot of people that have dyslexia. How this project influenced my approach to typography was making me more curious on the purpose of every typeface. Now when I look at typefaces I always wonder what makes them different from the other typefaces.
