Nowadays, we could see typography everywhere in our life. We may not notice them but they are alive and it is with us for a long time. I would like to give some momentous about person who became very influential in typography.
Early 19th century, Erich Walbaum designed new type of font, which is called Walbaum. Walbaum, Didon style, was designed with Bonia and Firmin Didot. In late 18th century, Romain du roi, designed by Louis XIV in 1700, published to impact in France and Italy. Romain du roi was drawn mathematical and artificial beauty font. However, Didone style does not have any serif and a horizontal stroke and a vertical stroke meets a right angle. This style is geometrical and mathematical but no more leftover penmanship style. Appearance and popularity of Walbaum caused by a great contrast of tine stroke, a typography development, and social culture’s changing.
