Designers often use typography to set a theme and mood in their designs; for example using bold, large text to convey a particular message to the reader. Type is often used to draw attention to a particular design, combined with efficient use of color, shapes and images. Fonts used in many of the designs convey different messages to the reader, classical fonts are for a strong personality, while more modern fonts are for a cleaner, neutral look. Bold fonts are used for making statements and attracting attention. Text layout, tone or color of set matter, and the interplay of text with the space of the page and other graphic elements combine to impart a “feel” or “resonance” to the design. Typography is often used as an conceptual element in graphic design, where there is less concern for readability and more potential for using type in an artistic manner. Type is combined with negative space, graphic elements and pictures, forming relationships and dialog between words and images.

Color and size of type elements are much more prevalent than in text typography. Most display typography exploits type at larger sizes, where the details of letter design are magnified. Color is used for its emotional effect in conveying the tone and nature of subject matter.

The newest form of typography is the kinetic typography. The text is moving to express a particular idea or emotion, often with a sound background. It looks and sounds great. Just search it on youtube and you’ll be amazed.
