It was interesting to learn how since the prehistoric times humans invented a way to express what they were feeling, even just by drawing symbols that had forms and counter forms.
Then human started to find ways and new technics to make the symbols more easy to read and faster to be drawn. I like the fact the Chinese even though they where on the oriental part of the world, didn't had any relation with the european side where all this technics and inventions where occurring they invented their own symbols and technics to communicate.
The fact that now days we use the same technic and we keep adding new design elements to typography and how to plan a book make me think on the future and how typography is going to be design. its going to keep evolving?
