    History of typography 
             
                           Uppercase and Lowercase, and the relationship between them, have been around for over twelve hundred years. Small Caps, ornamentals and Arabic figures were early additions to the woman.

                            Italics were a strange bunch to begin with. They didn't associate themselves with lower case roman, as we usually see today, but with roman caps and small caps. It's only in recent times that usage of italic, within roman, was deemed to be typographically correct.

                     Some of the newest additions to the weights of typefaces came with bold, and condensed, as late as the early nineteenth century. These were generally used in place of italics and small caps. Bold typefaces have now become a standard way of differentiating in typesetting, particularly on screen where italics are a little more difficult to read.

                       A type family with all of these weights forms a balanced series, which is now only historically accurate but creates harmonious typography. If the setting of the copy was reversed, so italics were used as body copy, Caps was used as pull-quotes and bold was used as the access structure (folios, running heads, etc.) not only would the body of text look terrible, it was also being very difficult to read. 

    Ideogram

            An ideogram or ideograph is a graphical symbol that represents an idea, rather than a group of letters arranged according to the phonemes of a spoken language, as is done in alphabetic languages.



           Examples of ideograms include way finding signage, such as in airports and other environments where many people may not be familiar with the language of the place they are in, as well as Arabic numerals and mathematical notation, which are used worldwide regardless of how they are pronounced in different languages. 



            The term "ideogram" is commonly used to describe logographic writing systems such as Egyptian hieroglyphs and Chinese characters.
