Inspiring Feats of Typography

Typography is the art of presenting text to convey a feeling, just like any other art. With the use of geometric forms and colors, you can use words to express more than what’s under it in the dictionary. A large portion of typography is getting the letters to flow together harmoniously. Every curve and corner adds to the feel of the entire image, making this a very precise art. Possibly an even more important aspect of typography is the coloring involved. A common goal is to make the letters look 3D, using appropriate shading and perspective. Then there are forms of splashes with 2D shapes and figures. Throw that on top of textures, decoration, and other background elements and you have yourself a piece of art.

Some artists just have a way with words. Without speaking, however.
