Typography is said to be the backbone of web design, but it’s also considered art all by itself. And, let’s face it, most designers are obsessed with it. No surprise then that in the right hands it can be very powerful. Whether it’s to improve the looks of a website or as a way to express ideas, typography is always there to help you out.
To fully embrace its beauty we brought you some amazing wallpapers from the web about design, ideas, emotions, typefaces and typography itself. We hope they’ll serve you both as a vast source of inspiration and a nice decoration on your desktop as well.

Hola, Gracias por ofrecer uno de mis fondos de pantalla aquí. Nunca aunque me gustaría estar en Noupe cualquier momento pronto. Y se compara con las obras magníficas de otros!
Sin embargo, hice el papel tapiz antes de aprender acerca de la tipografía y tipografía yo también creo es más que la organización de las palabras en una pantalla, digo esto porque si se están utilizando para la inspiración de su importante saber lo que hace que la buena tipografía!
Pero gracias de nuevo por la función:) Muy apreciado
eres una tetona ijueputa y me gustaría follarte.
ha tambien díganme en que ijueputa página puedo encontrar una maldita topografía con 50 palabras.
I want to be in this list too!
I have a lot of free PDF with different approachs to textart... take a loook at my blog:
See you!
Wow, very nice collection!
Great compilation. Thanks for inspiring. Keep it going.
Excellent Collection. I wish i could create some like this.
Wonderful Collection........I love all of them.......:)
Really nice, makes me want to dig out the wallpaper designs i did when i was at college
Hey, Thanks for featuring one of my wallpapers on here. Never though I would be on Noupe any time soon. And being compared against the other superb works!
However, I made the wallpaper before learning about typography and I too think typography is more than arranging words on a screen, I say this because if these are being used for inspiration its important to know what makes good typography!
But thanks again for the feature :) Much appreciated.
very nice designs...
Killer collection.... Goeie WERK mense!!!
Soshified.com made it to the list!
NICE. Power of 9, S?NE <3
Very very nice! Great inspiration and cool works!
That is amazing and awesome art. I just like the way the text where use to achieve that wonderful work. Yes some of the works here have seen some before but they always look wonderful every time i look at it.
Beautiful collection!
incredible. however, i still don't understand what makes a good typography.
Very nice. Really liked the Periodic Table of Typefaces
Great wallpapers! Shared on various social networks:)
gorgeous collection !!
Absolutely stunning, and actually inspiring beyond the words. Day made.
nice collection,
I love them ..
Thank you
Awesome wallpapers. Some are really remarkable.
A big thank you for featuring my "I love Typography"

Thnaks man! I have the same feeling. Typography is to me much more than using letters and fonts as images. Typography is rather making font invisible. Some of those are dam good works, but not really good as a background wallpaper.
nice works of typo wallpaper ore posters, great
Great collection!
I always get drawn towards the typographic 'world map', guess that has become a favorite!
really nice examples of typography
lovely collection
these were great. thanks for posting. i saved several to be on rotation as my desktop background =)
to each, his own... i thought these were awesome. the words used went well with the layouts...
me too!
nice typography...
nice ...
to express with the Word would be less.....
Very nice collection, especially like the first one: "I Love Typography".
I agree with the title, stunning.
awesome collection...thanks for sharing!
Nice collection. I like the 'design' and 'peace' most, but they're all cool. Thanks for sharing.
really beautiful and great collection. amazing wallpapers
HAHA! You're right! i'm jealous, too. :-)
Its really an amazing collection
ugh, the first one brings back memories of first grade and having to write out the alphabet :P
Nice collection. Thanks for putting it together. I especially like =)
very, very nice... loved'em
Nice share. Impressive typography wallpaper,
I love "Blah blah blah in black"
A+!
I'm really sorry but there's more to good typography than just making up a collage from some random words.
I can hardly see any well thought-out spacing, rhythm or other typographic details in here.
GREAT COLLECTION! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed the article, typography is simplistic elegance.
These are so pretty! I am definitely saving one as my background!
majority have been seen all too often before, but the best ones have got to be the world typography map and the typogrpahy periodic table.
Awesome!
fantastic! i love the last design "typography is king" the most.
even better, if you love type and sharing and testing it, check out the typography forum.
wondering if it took me 10 mins to minutely look at the entire collection, how many man hours it might have taken to make each one. splendid collection.
Great collection! *save to favs*
absolutely gorgeous designs - very jealous!
Nice collection. Really need a post on 'simple' desktop wallpapers. I find busy wallpapers to be quite distracting.
wicked collection!
