Typography is the art and technique of arranging type—the letters and characters used in printing—to make text readable and visually appealing. It matters because thoughtful choices about typeface design and how letters are arranged affect how well people can read and understand written information.

字体排印学(typography)或字体排印,又称为排版设计、文字设计,是通过排版使得文字易认、可读和优美的技艺。排印,是排列活字并且付印;而排版,是安排活字的方式,包括字体与字号的选取、栏宽与行高的设定以及字距的调整等。在西方设计领域,这项技艺常常被喻为“二维的建筑”。 字体排印侧重于对不同样式与大小的活字进行安排;与之相近的设计门类字体设计(type design),则是对字体本身形状的描绘。尽管字体设计有时也被视为字体排印的一部分,然而不同分工的设计师对“字体排印师(typographer)”和“字体设计师(type designer)”并没有相互认同。 印刷技术的演进对字体排印的传统与发展有着重要影响。排版的对象是活字。桌面出版技术引入的数字字体,又可以视作是数码活字。在桌面出版时代和计算机普及之前,印刷文字的排版一直由专门人员完成,如排字工人、字体排印师、平面设计师、漫画家等等。现代的文字编码与字体技术使得排版作为一项技艺的门槛降低。正如英国平面设计院院长,David Jury所言:“字体排印现已成为每个人都在做的事情。”
