What is typesetting?

Typesetting is the process of arranging text and images on a page to prepare it for printing or digital publication. It involves selecting fonts, adjusting spacing, and organizing content to ensure readability and visual appeal. Typesetting is essential in publishing books, newspapers, magazines, and online content, as it directly impacts the clarity and professionalism of the final product. Modern typesetting is often done using specialized software, but the core principles remain rooted in traditional print methods.
