Response to Thinking With Type

     The importance of type can affect  the way we view web pages. Comparing type appearing on a web page and a book, typographic treatment matters in appearances.  The application of a typeface within a webpage can create a sense of clarity on a page. By using the kerning and spacing, a web designer can differentiate themselves from amateurs with these little details.
     Before the days of multiple type, web designers often had to used the fonts provided by the computers themselves. Over time, techniques were created to advance fonts into further development. Additionally to these techniques, users can use third party toolkits with additional paid features.
     By using a typeface, one can execute a proper font as a visual aesthetic. Though most can, using a free font instead of a paid font can affect the page’s context. Free fonts are often associated poorly due to their lack of spacing and distribution. Additionally, using line spacing and tracking can help organize and create effects in typography hidden to the eye.
