First evidence of typography was found in cave paintings which eventually shifted to clay tablets where the tool used to write was reed. Ideograms or Egyptians hieroglyphs were the next signs of typography in history. There were 720 symbols. Cuneiforms came next with the number of symbols being cut down 560 and then came Phoenicians with the number being 28. Eventually as years passed and with more evolution came the roman lettering with 26 alphabets.
Serifs, sans serifs and everything in between:
Trajan:
Roman capitals(monumental typeface) tool used was chisel which created the serifs.
Uncials:
fewer strokes, rounded letters saved ink and page
Half-uncials:
again to save space, precursors to lowercase lettering
Carolingian minuscule:
Calligraphic standard so that the literate could easily recognize it from one region to another.
Blackletter/textura:
The styles of typography changed quite a lot throughout the years with the first typeface being founded by John Gutenberg(also considered the father of typography) who created the movable type(letter press printing) and blackletter. Blackletter was created to mimic the handwriting of monks who used to hand transcribe manuscripts before the inventions of printing press.
Humanist:
Eventually came the humanist style of type where the serifs, vertical stress and angles were designed in such a way that they replicated handwritten letters. Ex Jenson typeface by Nicholas Jenson
Old style/Gerald:
Little contrast between thick and thin strokes with serifs being bracketed, stress is diagonal. Italics were produced around this time as well, again to save money and space. Ex Garamond by Claude Garamond.
Transitional:
relatively higher contrast between thick and thin strokes but less than modern. Axis was almost vertical, bracketed serifs and round terminals. Ex Baskerville by John Baskerville
Modern/hairline serifs:
High contrast between thick and thin strokes, vertical axis non bracketed serifs. Ex Bodoni by Giambattista Bodoni
Slab serifs or Egyptian typeface:
industrial revolution; serifs got bolder with thick slab like styles, typefaces had low contrast Ex Rockwell
Sans serif:
grotesque. Serifs were considered beautiful and Caslon the fourth removed them to create sans serif. We have categories in sans serif as well with geometric sans, humanist sans, neo-grotesque, etc.
In a two-part series Fontfabric takes a closer look at the anatomy of typography, from Venetian serifs and lineals to Bauhaus and decorative
Spontaneous Activity
All of us were tired after taking in a bunch of history lessons so while taking a break we randomly started doing type by humans.

Senior Review!!!!
We had to bring all of our existing work to class to get feedback from our seniors who were a year ahead of us. I was majorly given feedback by Angel.
The feedback was insightful as it was from a third person's perspective and not just limited to the faculty and peers which already understood the essence of the assignments. This way we got an idea if a design was able to be independent of its explanation or not and whether it could stand alone.
Feedback:
AR/Scanimation:
look at other’s work if you are stuck somewhere. Research on topics other than yours and eventually get back or start fresh.
Design movement:
moodboard looks more like a poster, explore more compositions for it as well as constructive fonts to add relevant keywords in the moodboard
liked the outcome idea said could make a digital version as well
Word expressive art:
adjust spacing so that anxious is more readable and a comprehensive word.
Typography and senior review are daunting in different ways. With one being extensive history(I'm not too fond of it.) and the other having your work analyzed. However after writing down the History of Typography document, it become much more simpler and easier to remember. Senior review turned out to be very candid and helpful.
