20th century: Sans-serif fonts emerged (no serifs, even thickness). Phototypesetting in the 1960s revolutionized production, leading to today's digital typography.

Evolution continued: Transitional types (17th century) added more contrast, Baskerville's sharp forms were "shocking" in the 1700s, then came Baroque variations mixing roman & italic on same lines.

Renaissance brought vertical stems, circular bowls & crisp serifs. Aldus Manutius introduced italic type in 1495 to save space. Claude Garamond's famous typeface from the 1530s is still widely used today.

1440: Gutenberg's printing press changed everything. His Bible used Gothic typeface, but Roman letters inspired by classical inscriptions soon emerged. Nicolas Jenson created one of the first balanced Roman typefaces in Venice ~1470.

Medieval monks became scribes, evolving letters from rounded "uncial" shapes to sharp Carolingian minuscule under Charlemagne. Then came dense, angular Blackletter (Gothic script) - beautiful but hard to read.

A really short history of type. 🧵 Roman letters started as inscriptions carved in stone in 8th century BC. Romans adapted the Greek alphabet, creating the foundation for all Western scripts. These early letters had thick/thin strokes & serifs - still influencing type today.
