Review Week #17

At the end of the article "Who shot the Serif?" on ilovetypography.com, the author asks the audience "Have you learned something?" Although the article briefed us on the definition of serifs, which I already knew, I learned many other things about the history of serifs and the names for different types of serifs, such as adnate serifs flare out at the bottom, while abrupt serifs are chunky and block-like. The article taught me where the word serif came from as well along with other interesting facts, including the literal meanings in other languages.
