This lecture was about how far type has come from it's birth through to present day. It also showed us how something that we see everyday and possibly take for granted is in fact very important. If we want a job in the creative industry and create business cards or presentations for potential business partners then if we have a poor type face (comic sans was an example that was frequently brought up) then it will undermine ourselves and effect how seriously we are taken.
We were also introduced to a timeline of when in the last hundred years certain fonts were created. In conclusion, the lecture taught us that we see typography everyday and navigate our lives through text so how designers use text can help and change the world. It is the job of designers to make the world a nicer looking place.
