Typography posters have a rich history that dates back to the invention of printing press in the 15th century. Early posters were used for advertising, political propaganda, and announcements, but it wasn’t until the 19th century that typography became a key element in their design.

Artists like Jules Chéret and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec pioneered the use of typography as a design element, using bold lettering and decorative fonts to create eye-catching posters for theaters, music halls, and other forms of entertainment.
