Paragraph

Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves selecting typefaces, point sizes, line lengths, line-spacing, and letter-spacing, and adjusting the space between pairs of letters.

Designer's Notes

Based on the 10th century Ramsey Psalter. The Victorian calligrapher Edward Johnston felt this was the most perfect example of lettering, and based his Foundational Hand on it. All lower-case, as that's how body-text was written at the time.

Newly finished in Aug-2009.
