Having criticized most existing letterform terminology diagrams it seems only fair that I show what I use. These sheets were begun a few years ago for my SVA students….
Many of his edits and suggestions made it into the book. Paul is one of the foremost experts on type design, and perhaps the most prolific living writer on the subject. Maybe I need to make a category on this blog for Regrets. If we had the space to illustrate weights, something to show would be the compensations that type designers make to their design as they add weight.
Even the most geometric typefaces are adjusted to preserve counters, maintain overall balance among glyphs, and allow fonts to function at a greater range of sizes. Here we can see some examples of these adjustments, such as larger bowls P , lower crossbars A , wider shapes, and more contrast difference betaween thin and thick strokes.
Baseline — the imaginary line that most letters sit on; descenders drop below the baseline; letters with bowls see illustration toward the bottom usually come slightly below the baseline to make them look visually like they are sitting on it. Notice that the bottom curve of the e and d dip slightly below the baseline whereas the x sits right on it. Mean line — the imaginary line that runs along the top of the x-height, or non ascenders Ascender — a lowercase letter that extends higher than the x-height; ascenders include b, d, f, h, k, l, t.
Upper case letters are not considered ascenders. X-height is an interesting feature of a typeface because a tall x-height can make you think the point size is larger than it really is see illustration. Not all typefaces are created equal. One point font may look much taller than another. Fancy scripts can look especially small for their point size. There are 72 points in an inch. Seizure warnings Photosensitive seizure warning.
