The history of typography comes from a long way to find what we have now. There a lot of different types of typographers that has been created and a large amount of on what they written on. The first trace of typography written communication were in the ancient times back then in the prehistoric times but the very first real type of typography as formal writing happened around 3,500 B.C. The Egyptians were responsible to begin the development of the Hieroglyphics and at around 3300 B.C., they started to merge ideograms and different symbols to their writings,art and architecture. At around 3100 B.C the cuneiform was being used and they wrote ancient scripts and these scripts where done in horizontal or vertical. 
These changes all started when communication was in need and its complexity also increased. Not only the Egyptians felt this need but also the Phoenicians as they developed the famous phonograms (Phonograms are a type of symbol which shows a vocal sound). In the English language in the present stage phonograms we make a number of symbols like for example the # that represents the number. It's thanks to the Phoenicians who have released in around 1000 B.C. the beginning of the alphabet which then was taken by the Greeks.
After many years that the Greeks have used the Phoenicians first alphabet the Romans have also taken the basis of the Greeks alphabet which then the Romans gave style to uppercase alphabet which the same font can be used nowadays. The Romans introduced many things like different styles of the letters of the alphabet and art in handwriting and they also inserted types of scripts which can be formal or informal that were used in situations like official or unofficial writings.
At the time of the middle ages, typography transformed into art which started as handwritten manuscripts. With these changes a lot of new styles got introduced. The art in typography was everything like the calligraphy of how it was written was very important like the layout of the page. The people who mastered the calligraphy have travelled a lot to give the knowledge to other people in Calligraphy.
In the 15th century was very important as the development of typography was now entering into the stage of modern world. Typography now is at the stage of industrial communication and done in large amounts. These can be presented with posters, newspapers, periodicals and at last advertisement. In this era ornamental typography was another important step.
Now going into our time typography as you can see came from a long way and if you see now we have all the technologies that we want to create our own original topographies with our own font families. Nowadays designers can increase their skills and create new topographies with new brilliant ideas.
Typography since the new beginning of it always had one concept to give a certain message but the evolution and with time the medium used on which they wrote or how. By time the intellect of typography grew which one can see what we have nowadays.
