Letter Reflection

Here is a reflection to the Parts of A Letter Reading,

There is more complexity to typography than commonly known. It's a serious medium and has a long history. Terms are used to indicate parts of each type of different fonts i.e. bracket. The imaginary line that each letter of the alphabet matches up with has three components; baseline, cap height, and x-height. Each letter is characteristically different because of the marks it has or where it falls these components. There is both visual harmony and complexity to the alphabet. The vocabulary is correlated to the technical parts of letters. They are used in identification of specific typefaces. The more a designer learns about each part will help them create a more harmonious design. There are twenty five different parts of the alphabet that include all the letters, but all the letters do not include all the terms. The all have a stroke width. Some lowercase letters have different parts than the uppercase and visa versa. All the components of a single letter together make up the entire letter. Some fonts have different versions of each component and that is used to identify them with what font they are. Over all this reading was informative and understandable.
