Review Week #16

How many points are in an inch? How many points are in a pica?
There are 72 points per inch and 6 picas in an inch


Of the seven classifications, which classification(s) would best work as body type? Why?
Serif and sans serif would work the best because they are easier to read when sized below 14 points.


Identify the lowercase characters that have ascenders?
b, d, f, h, k, l, t, 


Identify the lowercase characters that have descenders?
g, j, p, q, y


Classify the following typefaces and briefly explain why you believe it should be classified that way:
02.png
Slab serif, the serifs are relatively thick
01.png
Calligraphy, because it looks like cursive handwriting
05.png


04.png
This is sans-serif, because there are no strokes at the ends of the letters
07.png
This is blackletter, because it looks similar to caligraphy and uses thick and this strokes
06.png

03.png
Modern, because there are big differences between thick and thin strokes and the serifs are flat and thin
