During our class in computer lab, Mr. Casal showed us a video about the history of typography. After watching the video I liked the style of the video because they made it funny but you learned from it. I don’t think that many people would choose that topic. I learned that first there was black letter then Roman type, italics, Caslon ,sans serif, Egyptian, gill sans , Helvetica last but not least Pixel type . I did not know that there was so many people who made typography!

When I was watching the video I  realized  that in the olden days people did not have all of the computers , phones and tablets. they had to write letters by hand.

I also I learned that there is  modern, old style and transitional styles of type.

Here is the video we watched:
