Visual Textures In addition to typefaces, designers also use different techniques to enhance the visual appeal of typography. These include the use of shadows, outlines, and textures. Shadows can be used to create a sense of depth and dimension, while outlines can be used to create a sense of separation between elements. Textures can be used to create a sense of tactile quality and add interest to a design. In conclusion, proper typography and usage of fonts are essential elements of graphic design. They play a crucial role in creating visual hierarchy, establishing a tone, and guiding the viewer's eye through the design. By selecting appropriate typefaces, using hierarchy, and incorporating whitespace and other techniques, designers can create effective designs that are legible, readable, and visually appealing. It is important for graphic designers to have a good understanding of typography to create a good design.
