Review

*edit*

Yesterday in class we reviewed our reading about the alphabet. We learned about the history and transformation of the alphabet from its beginnings during the Phoenician dominance to the time of the Romans. Its amazing how the alphabet changed so much but then at the same time so little. What i mean by this is the early alphabet was very simple and the markings very choppy. But as the alphabet advanced the letters had similar looks but they transformed into a more geometric design that added ease to reading.

A style that I will look for more in the future is the serifs on letter forms, which were introduced by the Romans.

It was interesting to learn how the formation of the alphabet affected society along with technology mathematics and the arts.

One question. What was the time span from origins of the alphabet to todays modern day alphabet?
