Anatomy Of A Font



For my example of anatomy of a font I used the font Black Cooper. In every font there are things that make it different from other fonts.  Some things you can look for in fonts are stems, extenders, descenders, and many more.  A stem is the straight part in letters like; B, D, E, K, There are more letters that have stems. Extenders are the parts of a letter that rise above the cap height line, letters that have extenders is a lower case d, and a lowercase b. Descenders are the opposite of extenders they go down below the baseline. Some letters that have descenders are a lowercase p and a lowercase q. There are many more things that identify fonts than just stems, extenders, and descenders.
