Le Trieu Vi said: "Typography design is really interesting, it helps me gain more experiences in arranging letters (fonts, sizes, layouts) in design. It’s not just only about words, but also artworks for you to understand and convey the message to consumers when buying products, even the way they receive and use that information from you.

Although Typography is not restrictive in its form, it is not easy to create the words that inspire the public and show what is hidden inside a packaging or an advertisement. Famous graphic designer Ellen Lupton said: Typography is the way language is expressed and students who study Graphic Design at LCDF Hanoi have done that.
