Typography is the art and techniques of type design, modifying type glyphs, and arranging type. Type glyphs (characters) are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type is the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing) and letter spacing.
Typography is performed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic artists, art directors, and clerical workers. Until the Digital Age typography was a specialized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users.
With its powerful tools and commands, Adobe Photoshop can improve the appearance of typefaces giving them a decorated look. Layer Styles play a significant role in this subject giving the designer the chance to apply embossed effects, textures, patterns and other embelishments.
