The history of typography is as long as the 5,000-year history of written languages and alphabets that combined letter forms into words. Most of that history, however, was dedicated to the refinement of written language on paper, which could be read by only a small minority of the most highly educated.

Typography in the environment began at the dawn of the first century A.D., bringing along with it the promotion of large-scale literacy and technological advancement in mobility and communication. In fact, there is a strong case to be made that environmental typography is 
a natural outgrowth of the desire for people to explore and comprehend the outside world.
