Typesetting

Also known as:Type LayoutText Composition

Definition

Typesetting is the process of arranging text on a page or screen for readability and aesthetic appeal — including decisions about typeface, font size, line spacing, kerning, and column layout. Originally a manual craft in print publishing, typesetting is now performed digitally in tools like Adobe InDesign, Affinity Publisher, and Canva. It is essential for creators producing books, magazines, course materials, and branded documents.
