The study of the design of letter forms, exhibited in type/font styles.

To many people it is different things, I personally find text art to be such a great simple yet highly motivational strand of design.

Kick back and let your Tuesday be ignited by some of the best typography from the past few weeks on the web.

These photographs are particular favorites of mine due to them showcasing macro and other forms of portrait photography from which the main subject is the human eye. Such a complex and intricate part of the human anatomy is something I love, the eye is often described as the opening to the soul.
