Experienced graphic designers understand the importance of typeface.  The shape, grace to leading and kerning, compatibility, and legibility are key characteristics to consider in selecting the proper typeface for a print ad or website headers and body copy.  The carefully selected typeface can define a piece of design, sending a message to the viewer beyond the words they represent.  Despite the complexity of typeface design, the creativity has recently been expanded into a rapidly growing art form.

                As the title of this blog so curiously hints at, this entry is about type faces (link to the 45 images below).  These incredible works use typefaces to create profiles conveying emotions, famous people, and powerful messages.  Through their word choice and typography selection, the words and typeface used as much define the image as the image formed from the words.  The way the typeface and image integrate seamlessly shows a maturity in design and comprehension of typeface.  I highly suggest taking a quick glance through the images in the link.  Surely one will impress.
