1.Sum up the reading in your own words in 1 paragraph.
This chapter is all about more and more innovations to graphic design typeface in the 1700s. These innovations include a larger variety of printing, sizes, fonts, and papermaking. Of these new designs, Rococo was the most fancy and ornate. Then the chapter moved on to people who regulated and standardized type into specific fonts: Fournier le Jeune, George Bickham, William Caslon and so on.
2.Name the one thing (or person) you found most interesting from the reading.
John Baskerville was probably the most interesting thing/person talked about in this chapter. He gave older typefaces a more modern style with thicker lines and smoother more eye catching paper.
3.State at least one question you have after the reading.
