Typography of Apple Inc.

The typography of Apple Inc. has played a significant role in the company's branding and product design. Over the years, Apple has utilized various typefaces to convey its brand identity, from the early days of the Apple I to the modern era of the iPhone and MacBook.

Early Typography

Apple's first logo, designed by Ronald Wayne, featured a complex illustration with a banner reading "Apple Computer Co." in a serif typeface. This logo was soon replaced by the more iconic rainbow-striped apple logo designed by Rob Janoff.
