"Typography at its best is a visual form of language linking timelessness and time".
These wise words were said by Canadian poet, typographer, translator and author of "The Element of typographic style" Robert Bringhurst. They are like a confirmation that the beauty of typography is timelessness and inexpressible. It has no boarders and no limits. It is everywhere around us and it fills our life with bright and soft colors, with happy and romantic feelings and of course it fills our inner world with inspiration. This kind of art inspires designers to create really outstanding and unique artworks, whether it's web design, album art, posters, or any other type of graphic design. Without typography every project seems incomplete and short. This powerful tool has an inevitable importance in the field of web designing. It can be one of the most fascinating elements of design. We should not underestimate its significance, cause almost 90 percent of information on the Web involves typography. It encompasses many separate fields from the type designer who creates letter-forms to the graphic designer who selects typefaces and arranges them on the page. Any medium of communication need a good typography for its success. Designers try to do their best to achieve best results. They use different variants of fonts, glyphs and try to do everything possible to impart the main message to the readers in a handier manner and in a really effective way. Artists always experiment with typography to stand out against the crowd of ordinary designs and projects. In spite of line length, line spacing, spaces between groups of letters, forms of letters, fonts and their sizes the outcome can be really outstanding and awesome.

We've ran over the Web and found a lot of interesting and stunning designers' artworks where typography is one of the more crucial aspects.
