# Typography

## COMM-2570

Typography studies the form and function of alphabetic and pictographic systems in English-speaking society. The course aims to imbue in students a critical perspective on the role typography plays in the history and sustenance of civilization and the propagation of ideas throughout society. Students will read historical, theoretical, and evidence-based literature to glean principles for designing communicatively effective type. Verbal and visual assignments will enforce understanding of typographic principles and grammar for use in print and digital interfaces.
