Typography is a type of design that makes words and letters more appealing to readers, turning a design’s text into a work of art in itself. Using a variety of carefully chosen typefaces, varying line lengths and thoughtful letter spacing, typography changes even the most basic text into something beautiful and exciting. Here are three inspiring Pinterest boards for fans of typography.
