Anatomy of Typing

Project Description

The project that I have done, and is shown below, demonstrates the Anatomy of typing by using my name. I used red for the lines and blue for the arrows so they would stand out better. The arrows are pointing to what the words are, for example; the counter is pointing to the blank space in the D, because that is what it is. The lines shown are the topline, x-height, and the bottomline. 

What I Learned

I learned what the Anatomy of Typing is, it is all the different parts of founts. For example; the arm of an E, or a T is a horizontal stroke not connected on one or both ends, or like how the hairline of a letter is the thin stroke of a serif typeface. All this new information I learned was really interesting to read and learn about.

How It Went

The project came out good. It didn't have all the words on it, because I didn't have all the letters in my name, but it had most of them. I learned a lot from this lesson, as you will read above. I had a lot of fun making it, mostly because I love looking at founts, but also because I got to use Adobe Illustrator more.
