Expressive Typography

Expressive Type can be quite hard to pull off without being too literal. Expressive Type is a type of typography. Letters are not just abstract notions or carriers of meaning. They are also real, physical shapes. In typography, the form, size, and font of the letter are used as visual elements and there is not really a single style associated with this type.Most typography tends to create form with meaning based on the word itself. However I feel that creating form with the associated word with different form, size, and font successfully creates Expressive Type without being literal as long as it isn't too direct.
