📚 Today's Learning Highlights:

Typography Overview:

Typography arranges type to make written language legible, readable, and visually appealing. It enhances readability and navigation in user interfaces.

Role in UI/UX Design:

• Creates visually appealing interfaces 🎨

• Enhances readability and navigation 🧭

• Involves selecting typeface, font size, weight, and spacing.

Typeface vs. Font:

• Typeface: Design of a set of characters (e.g., Arial, Times New Roman).

  • Includes styles like regular, bold, italic.

• Font: A specific instance of a typeface (e.g., Times New Roman 12pt bold).

Important Typographic Parts:

1. Baseline: Imaginary line on which letters sit.

2. X-height: Height of lowercase letters.

3. Cap height: Height of uppercase letters.

4. Ascender: Part of a letter above the x-height.

5. Descender: Part of a letter below the baseline.

Key Element:

1. Leading: Spacing between baselines.

2. Kerning: Spacing between characters.

3. Tracking: Spacing between groups of characters.

4. Weight: Different weights like light, regular, bold, etc.

Typefaces:

1. Serif: Traditional and formal.

2. Sans Serif: Modern and minimalistic.

3. Display: Stylized for large sizes.

4. Script: Mimics handwriting.

5. Monospace: Equal width for characters.

Best Practices:

• Sans Serif typefaces are preferred for digital interfaces.

• Pair with a serif typeface for headings.

• Keep line length to 40-60 characters for readability.
