typography in map design
Definition
- Typography in maps refers to symbols and signs in maps. Since maps are graphical representation of spatial relationships that essentially reduce the permutations of space into a two-dimensional topological construct, the role of typography is limited to labeling points, arcs, and polygons (referred to as features) with appropriate and efficient form, style, and weight factors.
