Playing with typography

From the kitchen to the living room, the alphabet can find a place in many ways, says Teja Lele Desai
From laptops and signages to books and shop fronts, we are surrounded by several typography styles. Put simply, typography is the art of arranging letters and text in ‘a way that makes the copy legible, clear, and visually appealing’. It involves the style of the font, appearance, and structure, and aims to convey specific messaging and create a certain impact.
