Description/Abstract:

Written language is a way of communicating abstract ideas through symbols that we learn to understand throughout our lives. We encounter it constantly, perhaps taking for granted how different our lives would be without it, emotionally, sensually and intellectually. Letters form
words, words phrases, and accumulations of sentences into paragraphs, poetry and literature have formed and furthered the development of knowledge in the literate world. Besides conveying meaning as a collection of signs, typography is also an image which, in that it is designed and not a personal handwriting style, also has a pointedly graphic and aesthetic function. And because type and text are graphic symbols, if they appear in films, they can be animated.
