This paper examines the possibility of using art form to raise interest or create awareness about the history, evolution, usage or main characteristics of typefaces. The study is divided into two parts. Part 1: Using the most well known pangram, “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”, this project has created a range of ‘pangram’ arts in which the fox and the dog play an aesthetic role that demonstrate the interesting features in a typeface. It has explored varied art form, ranging from painting, sculpture, digital art and prints, looking at how each art form employ contrast, scale, layering and formal manipulation to reiterate and illustrate the characteristic elements of a typeface. Part 2 of the paper is a collection of data through survey from design students/public on the possibility of using art form in typography learning and teaching.
