A BRIEF HISTORY OF TYPEFACE & DESIGN

Founded by Johannes Gutenberg in 15th Century Germany.

Inventing movable type, Gutenberg was heavily influenced by the dark, dense lettering of the time period and eventually called it blackletter.

Geoffroy Tory believed the alphabet, its proportions, and overall perfect letter form were to be based off the human body and ideal human form.

LEFTY VS. RIGHTY

Inspired by the fact that I am a lefty.

Lefty…

Only 10% of the population are lefties.

Have the upper-hand when it comes to sports.

Good 3D perception, insight, intuition, imagination, art & visual awareness, and heightened imagination & creativity.

Righty…

Makes up 90% of the population.

Very analytical, detail-oriented, good science & math skills, order & pattern perception, reality-based, practical, and strategic.

Don’t necessarily have the upper hand after all.
