Summary 💡

<Typography /> is a complex word to type and I feel <Text /> is simpler and easier.
"Text" is also probably more internationally known then "Typography". Bit of a fancy word in English.
Characters of code would be reduced and manual coding we do use <Typography /> a lot when typing, would be nice to cut the word count by 60% and just use <Text />.

Examples 🌈

<Typography /> -> <Text />

Motivation 🔦

Make it easier for devs to code Material UI.
