Etymologically Typography means (from the Greek words τύπος typos = "That by which something is symbolized or figured (die) and grapho = "I write"). As its etiological meaning said type has been traditionally created to be use as a readable and writable source. But lately we have see that artist and designer have been using type and manipulating it as strokes. They have introduce new way of using lines of type as if they where regular strokes made by any media and as you see above they are able to create beautiful shapes like animal portraits, famous Hollywood faces or even self-portraits. It is amazing how you can create shapes with other sources like type and how you can capture them with your visual perception. Now I do agree with the saying that "Art is art if the artist tells you it's art".
