Type Talk – History of Type

  • What was one fact you found most Interesting and why

A fact that that I found most interesting was humans adapted to language based off of convenience, for example humans went from simplistic drawings, to symbols, and from symbols to letters and phonics. All of these tools were used to make it easier to read, communicate and providing information in short periods of time.

    An interesting point from the video was how visual communication can influence the way people perceive and remember information. I found this interesting because images, symbols, and colors can communicate ideas quickly without using many words.

    I love how the video really goes in depth on the history of shapes (glyphs) used to communicate and how its transformed in the modern day.

    A fact I found interesting in the video is how we humans evolved not just our bodies and facial features, but also the way we communicate. From drawings to symbols and from symbols to letters. From having letters on walls to now being in books and on paper, to now being more digital as we humans continue to evolve in our way of communication. -Gio

    One fact that I found interesting is how over time, people began to switch the objects they would write on. It’s crazy to think that one person managed to make people switch where they write or draw on and how they do it. Watching the video and seeing how people created a ‘book’ in a way because they didn’t want to read on a scroll is really cool to see. Learning how things developed into making online articles and everything was awesome as well.

    A fact that I fact is the change in language. Writing started from simple drawings and symbols. Over time, they evolved into the letters and words we use today. As society changes, new words are created, and some words even develop completely new meanings.
