So What's Your Type?


Ever heard of typography as an artform? For thousands of years, typography has been used as a visual tool to provide development and create opportunities to direct particular actions or behaviors. From letterforms carved from stone to Gutenberg's letterpress, the typeface was a very visible and significant art that made it possible for many generations to mark each development in history.

Since then, the type used plays a significant role in sending out the kind of message you want your target readers to see, especially in your marketing campaign material such as your brochure printing project. Your typeface also indicates the level of response that your target readers would also have on your brochure printing message.

Your font in your brochure printing project is not just a way for you to convey a readable and understandable message; but your typeface can also be used to provide a brilliant and out-of-the-ordinary design to your brochure printing piece.

Some points to consider when developing a good typography in your brochure printing project

First, you have to read your type.

Any brochure printing designer would tell you that you should be able to read it first before anyone could ever understand what you want to say in your brochure printing copy. A good typeface is not only there to articulate your brochure printing message; your typeface is also used to clarify and present your brochure printing ideas in the easiest way possible.

If you yourself cannot understand what you've written then how do you expect others to do so? So make sure that you've read and understood your brochure printing copy, then make corrections to include clarity, good pace and length. And most of all, make sure that the words written can be easily digested by anyone.

Your Type Has A Voice

The type of your choice also indicates the tone of your brochure printing text. Typefaces change voices as often as human beings change their clothes. Your typeface emphasizes as well as articulates clearly your choice of words in your brochure printing project. Good typography stands the test of time.

The Economy Of Scale

For most part, the most flexible of typeface performs its job in whatever size it's in. Scaling your typeface is one of the most effective methods of good typography. Use those classic types than can work well as your brochure printing body text and as your brochure printing display. Emphasize your brochure printing text and make your brochure printing copy more interesting by providing your type in a variety of sizes.

Clarity vs. Utility...Or Both

Don't just let your type go ordinary and boring. Use it to provide appeal to your brochure printing project. Don't just apply your typeface to clarify your brochure printing message, but also make use of your type to provide a more readable and legible text.

There are a lot more things to consider creating a more fun and effective typeface for your brochure printing project. Look for reference materials to help you find your type. And make sure that your typeface will work to make your brochure printing project successful.
