Type glyphs are modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line leng th, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between g roups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning ). Type desig n is a closely related craft, which some consider distinct and others a part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers.
5. Typog raphy is per formed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic designers, art directors, comic book artists, graffiti artists, and clerical workers. Until the Digital Age, ty pography was a speci alized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users.
Typography (from the Greek words = form and writing ) is the art and technique of arranging type, and sometimes modifying typeglyphs.
