The History of Fonts From Gutenberg to Digital

Fonts have a rich history that spans centuries, evolving from handwritten scripts to digital typefaces. Here are some key points in font history:

  • 15th Century: Johannes Gutenberg introduces movable type printing in Europe, revolutionizing the spread of information.
  • 16th-18th Centuries: Typeface design becomes an art form. Notable designers like Claude Garamond and John Baskerville create influential fonts still used today.
  • 19th Century: The Industrial Revolution brings new printing technologies, leading to bolder, more attention-grabbing fonts for advertising.
  • Early 20th Century: Modernist movements influence typography, with sans-serif fonts gaining popularity.
  • Late 20th Century: Digital typography emerges, making font creation and use more accessible than ever before.
  • 21st Century: Web fonts and variable fonts offer new possibilities for typography in digital media.
