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:

I like the things you did.
Jh, I really liked how you used all the questions like ” what about cursive”. I also liked how you said “I wondered” and I liked how when you wrote italics you wrote it in italics.
