Typography – the art, or skill of designing printed matter, especially printed words – has a history stretching back five hundred years. Ever since its invention in the fifteenth century printing has been based on the use of movable type, and this technology has conditioned the design of everything from pamphlets to newspapers, books and magazines.
But in the last quarter of the twentieth century a revolution took place. Printers and designers throughout the world jettisoned the old technology in favour of advanced filmsetting and desk-top systems, which introduced new problems and created exiting possibilities for typographers.
