This week, we鈥檒l take an up-close look at typefaces, both as physical artifacts and as works of design. 鈥╓e will study the formal elements that define and give character to type, and understand where they came from and why they look the way they do. We will review the terminology and measuring system used to describe type, and look at the way the form and proportion of letters relate to the practical concerns of selecting and combining typefaces. The week will wrap up with a graded quiz.
