Assignment 2b-Type Expression (More Research)

More research about typography was done and I found out that  Nicolas Jenson was the first person who develop the first full Roman typeface. His typeface was highly legible. Later on, others uses his work and also created newer typeface. Jenson learned the art of movable type under the guidance of Gutenberg. Johannes Gutenberg is the person who invented the printing press which increases the production of books in his era and then around the world.
