Review Week 16

How many points are in an inch? How many points are in a pica?
72 pts in an inch, 12 pts in a pica
Of the seven classifications, which classification(s) would best work as body type? Why?
I think Old Style would work the best for a body type because it is pretty plain and easy to read. Plus it has good spacing.
Identify the lowercase characters that have ascenders?
t, i, d, f, h. j, k, l, b
Identify the lowercase characters that have descenders?
q, y, p, f, g, j

Classify the following typefaces and briefly explain why you believe it should be classified that way:

02.png.
Sans Serif because it is pretty basic and easy to read
01.png
Sans Serif because it looks like a handwriting and its pretty basic and not hard to look at.

05.png
I would say Ornamental because this type of font is not usually seen as a body text.  It would work best as a larger title font or something.

04.png
This one would be Serif because it is really easy to read and very very basic.
07.png
This one could be Blackletter because it looks like an old times font.
06.png
This one could be Serif because it is also basic but the words are closer together.
03.png
This one is Serif but it is less compressed and more spread out.  But a good body font.
