Letterform Layouts Slideshow
Typographers, like architects, have been shaping visual spaces for centuries. As you view this slideshow, you will notice that the letterforms carry not only "verbal" information but in most cases are used as graphic elements that create a design within the page format.

Be aware of the placement of the letterforms AND the space created around the groupings of the letters. A well balanced composition always considers the "empty/white/negative" space and how it interacts with the other elements on the page.
