Topography is the way you display a written word. It can be very significant because it helps the reader to understand the image a writer might be wanting to portray. I think that the quote, "Each font has a personality and purpose" means that not one of the fonts are the same, but they are all unique in their own ways and display their own meanings one by one. The five different font types I learned is Serif, San-Serif, Monospaced, Script, and Display. Serif has "feet" and is used for large number of texts. On the other hand, San-serif is like the opposite of Serif, as it does not have any "feet" attached. Monospaced is usually used for coding, as it has the same amount of space between each letter. Script is is displayed by calligraphy or cursive. Therefore, it is considered to be good for creating logos, or large headlines. Last but not least, Display is when the font is very elegant and extra, and is it used to grab people's attention. However, you should not use it in large blocks of text because it could be very overwhelming. Typeface ComparisonFor this activity, I chose the word "Aquarius" and wrote it in different fonts to observe the contrast between each one of them. Word PortraitsFor this activity, I found 2 words for each font. One that matches well to the meaning, and one that does not go well with the meaning of the font. I found 10 matches, or 20 words in total.
