In the context of brand building, typography refers to the specific typefaces used within a company or organisations identity.
A typeface is chosen to reflect particular characteristics, like simplicity, tradition or quirkiness. Like the colour associated with a brand, type’s overarching role is, through a consistent type style, to make a brand more instantly recognisable.
