Typesetting

 What is typesetting?

Arranging the composition of type - traditionally, this meant arranging physical letters for printing


Nowadays, type is mostly set digitally.

typesetting can be divided into 3 elements:
-the letter
-the word
-the line

why is typesetting important?
typesetting has a huge effect on how a viewer reads text - text which is set badly is much more difficult to read.
