How we use typography?

Designing a great typeface is one thing, but it’s just a small part of the whole picture. The real magic happens when we design with type. We all need to understand what typography is for, how graphic designers and art directors use it, how they work with it, how they transform it, how they break it, and most importantly, how they communicate with it. At Now26, we’re all about showing you how typography has a real impact on the world around us.
