1. The word itself, left in plain font, is
just a word, but it encompasses
an infinite realm of possibilities.

2. It’s the careful balance of
and word

which, when used correctly,
quietly enhances the reading
experience, unknown to the

a different mood.
Essentially, it’s like clothes for words.

was a novelty, I often
lost myself in the various , fonts, and effects.
My skills grew up with me,
and at 11, I taught myself
h o w t o u s e
HTML coding
to create web pages filled
with “pretty words.”
I began adding it to artwork,
both digital and traditional, to
add a new dimension. I
found that typography added
a depth and emotion that
