  13. Thanks for this comprehensive guide. The best takeaway lesson for me is "Fonts are like humans, each one has its own personality and character."

  20. Thank you so much envato Tuts+. I am a new to Graphic Design and I am looking to improve my skills. I got hinted to learn it from the base/ root. I am going to start with theory before moving to practicals. Thank you so much!

  21. Thank you for the video .

  22. thank you so much for this video! it is so easy to understand. I am looking for a video because of the bad teaching of my professor, and this is the video that I am looking for!

  23. Excellent

  24. I think you didn't mention about Ligatures.
    But overall, it was a ten-out-of-ten for me. Short and concise, easy-to-understand and the most Important of all is that it covers 30% to 40% of the Typography Structures.

  25. Very informational, Thankyou Ma'am

  26. Thank you so much!!!!!!

  28. wooow thnx!!!

  29. Thanks for this

  30. Hint I learned long long back from a pre-computer typesetter (that did dry transfer lettering, like Letraset). When kerning a header, put the text up-side down. It releases your brain from interpreting the letters and you see more easily where you need kerning.

    To illustrate this, take out some book from your shelf with titles on their backs and turn them so the text is upside down. You will find that some have very bad kerning that you would not have spotted if having them in normal orientation 🙂

  31. Yeah I had been mentioned in my story telling book, in second preparatory class, all you are ✅️ talking right now letter character how to make it and special purpose for special character of letter, we had been a book about 'LETTERASET' in this book, more than 200 style type face and fonts.

  32. Thanks for providing this course free. I was reading a book to understand typography. However, it was a less intuitive and strenuous process. You made it easy by making this video.

  33. You've done a great job with this tutorial❤🎉

  34. Envato is one of the best things out there.
