Typography is the style and appearance of a written word. Typography is important because it can help the reader to understand written words easier, and it could grab the attention of people. I think the quote "Each font has a personality and a purpose" means that each font has its own characteristics that distinguishes from the rest. Also, it means that certain fonts are meant to be used for certain things, and should not be used randomly. The 5 different fonts that I learned is Serif, Sans Serif, Monospaced, Script/Handwritten and Display. Serif has "feet" and it is used in large blocks of text or in prints. Whereas Sans Serif doesn't have "feet" and it's great for headlines, titles, and smaller chunks of texts. Monospaced has the same amount of texts in each letter, and it's not good for large blocks of texts. Script/Handwritten are cursive or calligraphic, and is good for logos, large headlines and details. Lastly, Display are fonts that grabs your attention and it should be used sparingly.
