Anatomy of Typography

    Every letter in the alphabet has special characteristics to it.  For example, "H" has a cross bar and a Bracket, depending on the font. There are two types of fonts within the millions of individual fonts, Serif and San Serif. A serif is the projections extending off the main strokes of the characteristics of serif typefaces. Serifs come in two styles: bracketed and unbracketed. Brackets are the supportive curves which connect the serif to the stroke. Unbracketed serifs are attached sharply, and usually at 90 degree angles (definition source from a handout).
 Shown above I made an example from my name, and listed out the special characteristics from every letter that had an obvious one, not all are listed. This type of work is called "Anatomy of Typography".
