Questions on "What Writing Does and How It Does It" by Anne Wysocki

The chapter talks about typefaces and fonts. Fonts and typography certainly evokes emotions and reactions to the written word. But, would you say pictures are a form of writing too? Can they be compared? Why or why not?

Also, does placement in context matter to the types of fonts used? Can context be separated from the textual matter? This leads into my next question...
The author delves into various forms textual content. In my opinion, the main idea governing text is language and speech. Does language play a role, if at all, in conveying information?
