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.

And most of all, make sure that the words written can be easily digested by anyone.

Your typeface emphasizes as well as articulates clearly your choice of words in your brochure printing project. Good typography stands the test of time.

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.
