During our class time in computer lab, Mr. Casal showed us the history of tpyography. After watching this video  I wondered “why don’t we use them that much anymore,” “why don’t we use those names” “what about cursive” but what I did learn is that the first typography was black letter by Johamos Gootinberg and Jenson made roman.

How about italics all I new before was script cursive and print and now I’m learning about the different strokes and the most famous, Helvetica I never even new that was a thing! The video was really fun too , it helped me pay attention too. did you know that before the computers only had pixel, and that is the history of typography!

here is the video we watched:
