During our class time in the computer lab, Mr. Casal showed us a video about the history of typography. After watching this video I learned that typography is NOT perfect. There are so many kinds of typography. Italics is one of them. I also thought that the video was so cool. There was so much animation. Like paper came out of the computer. It did not actually come out of the computer but it looked like it. It also looks like he pretends to type on paper. He makes the animation out of paper and the computer. William Caslon created the geometric sans. William Caslon the IV took away the serifs. Williams typography got really big. Eric Gill created a typography that was similar to Geometric sans. It was more gentle and smooth than Williams. He makes things move without touching whatever he moved. Italics was made for making more room on the paper and saving money. Jenson’s type face was much more readable than black letter.

This is the video we have watched:
