(Introduction) 'Throughout history the written word has played an essential role in the development of mankind. The art of typography has in itself forged its own culture through a wide variety of different mediums. Typography has however, largely remained a specialist area in the field of design and communication, although, over the decades the creative disciplines have witnessed an ever increasing number of recognised typographers and type designers, many of whom have contributed enormously to the development of typography and to firmly establish its status as one of the most fundamentally important ingredients in communicative design.

The following quotes have been taken from a selection of some of those typographers and designers who have all helped influence the way in which typography has emerged to become an incredibly exciting art of producing both classic and contemporary aesthetic beauty. This collection of quotes has been put together to celebrate type and each individual quote has been designed to form itself around the word 'type. As the reader reads the quotes it is hoped that each individual message is capable of speaking for itself.'
