Parts of a Letter
Learning the terminology for the parts of each letter is essential for designers and typographers to develop an understanding of the alphabet and its visual qualities. In the article it states “each letter of our alphabet developed as a simple mark whose visual characteristics clearly separated it from all others.” This struck me as a very interesting perspective on how the written language and typography came about. Typography is an intriguing subject and the possibilities in its exploration are limitless.
