Typography as line-making
Typographic systems allow us to see typography as a
line-making practice. Firstly, this returns to the
word’s etymological root (trace) so that the line-work of typography can
be understood as traces of movement — not just an arrangement of
letters, but visible traces of linguistic and social movement(s).
These lines are connections which generate knowledge and, through
typography, bind readers, writers and ideas together with the text.
