Typography as defined by Wikipedia as, 'the art and techniques of type design, modifying type glyphs, and arranging type. Type glyphs (characters) are created and modified using a variety of illustrations techniques' etc... But what is a typography, since digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users. The, who, what, where, when, how and why of it all is continuing to encompass more and more users all over the world. I stumbled on a website that brings together many elaborate thinkers on the subject with an array of 124 English articles that touch base on various typography topics of interest in the typography world @ http://www.typotheque.com/articles/. One article in particular that struck my fancy since I am into research and development psychology was called, 'Experimental typography. Whatever that means' by Peter Bil'ak. It may not tell everyone everything but it leaves it open for suggestive creativity. One website that seems to touch base on a lot of technical jargon is about.com . I found a lot of useful typography jargon that affirmed my aesthetic beliefs about typography. The about.com site is definitely worth a gander. You know what they say, "What is good for the goose is good for the gander".
Happy gandering! Duck, duck, GOOSE!! Your it!!!
