Task 1: Anatomy of Typography

Yesterday we are learning about ANATOMY OF TYPOGRAPHY in group work by brain storming. This is what we get.

Anatomy of Typography is a study of structure of typeface or describing graphic elements that make up printed letters in typeface. Origin of typography is from Greek root from the words TYPOS= Impressions and GRAPHIA= Writing Anatomy of Typography is also about the learning about the structure of typeface such as ear, hand, arm and shoulder. Each part of this structure in typo is important in each letters just like the human body structure.

Anatomy of Typography also has character such as Bold, Italic, Underline  and etc.

Typography also contain the readability and legibility. Readability is a primary concern of the typographer and information designer. Legibility is primary the concern of the typeface designer, to ensure that each character or glyph is distinguishable from other characters in font.
