Word origin
The term 'typography' originated from the Greek words 'typos' meaning 'form' and 'grapho' meaning 'to write'. Typography has evolved over centuries, from hand-written manuscripts to modern digital fonts. The development of printing press in the 15th century revolutionized typography and made mass production of printed materials possible.
