Typographer
Professional Role
A typographer is skilled in making written language legible, readable, and appealing when displayed.

A good typographer will ensure your poster communicates the message clearly and beautifully.
Not a Printer
Don't confuse a typographer with a regular printer; typographers focus specifically on the artistic arrangement of type.

While printers produce the final product, a typographer will first arrange the text to optimize visual appeal.
Typography vs. Writing
A typographer is not necessarily a writer; their main job is to arrange pre-existing text aesthetically.

The author wrote the story, but the typographer chose the fonts and layout that brought the pages to life.
