The art and discipline of putting together set of typefaces into a harmonious and readable type system.

The small decorative stroke at the end of a stroke in a letter, or a typeface.
A prediction model used in human-computer interaction. It states that the time required to move to a target area rapidly increases as the distance to the target increases. The law was proposed by Paul Fitts, an American psychologist, in 1954 as a mathematical model of movement with limited cognitive capacity.
Fitts hypothesized that one would quickly select its first apparent target when reaching for an object before considering alternatives — a phenomenon called "target fixation." This tendency would increase progressively with increased distance between the subject and object until it eventually became exponential (i.e., too far away).
The process of adjusting the spacing between individual letters to improve or avoid particular visual distortions.
A system used to describe and identify typefaces by their basic visual characteristics.
The process of developing a product or design system that can be altered to fit different device and interaction contexts.
