Task 1

ANATOMY OF TYPOGRAPHY

     We do some research about this topic and we also do a brainstorm in the class.

      Anatomy is a body structure like arm, ear, leg, and etc. the typography has their own element we call it character that include individual letter, numeral, or punctuation mark. Therefor the anatomies of typography are the structure of the letter. The characteristic of the anatomy typography like aperture, arm, ascender, base line, bowl, counter, cross bar, descender, diagonal stroke, ear, finial, hairline, ligature, link, loop, lowercase, serif, shoulder, small caps, spine, spur, stem, tail, terminal, uppercase, x-height and many more.

• Aperture

Is the opening at the end of an open counter example:

• Arm.

Is a horizontal stroke that not connected on the one or both end.

• Baseline

Is the invisible line that the latter sit 

• Bowl

A curve stroke that enclose a letter’s counter

• Counter

Fully or partially enclose space within a letter

• Ear

A small stroke projecting from the upper right bowl of some lowercase g’s

• Hairline

The thin stroke of a serif typeface

• Serif

‘Feet’ or non-structural details at the end of some stroke.

• Shoulder

A curve stroke originating from the stem like the letter ‘m’ ‘n’ ‘h’ 

• Stem

Is a primary vertical stroke

   

 All this characteristic are part of the typography and it all important to build a letter. The characteristic of the typography is important like how important the part of our body to complete the whole human body.

This is a picture that we snap when doing the presentation about brainstorm on anatomy of typography
