Abstract
Abstract: Think typography from graphic design and semiotics is something that, although some parameters have been established, is not possible yet to talk clearly aboutt since there is not a clear semiotic orientation that explains how the plastic signification of typography is generated. This presentation aims to show how typography in its linguistic dimension, particularly from its visual dimension, has a high communicative value and through the signifier- ignification relation and some codes that guide it, allow the identification of what could be called a typographic plastic semiotics. This, considering that typography, from its visual characteristics develops a communicative and aesthetics function, and that, besides allowing the reading process, it can generate significations that to a certain degree, can favor the interpretation of a text.
