Artistic Quotes About Typography
Typography creates form or
texture. It is very much a design element. ~
Debbie Jensen
When the type is poorly chosen, what the words say
linguistically and what the letters imply visually
are disharmonious, dishonest, [and] out of tune. ~
Bringhurst Elements of Typographic Style
Grace in typography comes of
itself when the compositor brings a certain love to
his work. Whoever does not love his work cannot hope
that it will please others. ~Tschichold
Treasury of Alphabets and Lettering
Good typography is like bread: ready to be admired,
appraised, and dissected before it is consumed. ~
Bringhurst Elements of Typographic Style
The ornamentation of printing is ... charming
because of its power to add beauty to the strict
simplicity of type; dangerous because all matters of
decoration call upon the utmost discretion and sense
of fitness for their effective use. ~
F. Warde Pr
Often typography is the main
or only graphic element in a design. This is a
common solution when the subject matter is too broad
or complex... Letterforms are inherently more
abstract than pictures, consequently more useful for
this kind of problem. ~ Glaser Milton
