Review Week 17

After reading the article "Who shot the serif?" on www.ilovetypography.com, I did learn some new things that I didn't already know about letters in general and serifs. I didn't know that the parts of letters have a name. The serifs on the letter i are connected to the "stem" of the letter. There are a lot of other body parts of the letter as well, like the counter and bowl of the letter a, the spine of the letter s, etc. Also, I learned that the origin of the word serif is a little bit of a mystery. The word "sanserif" was actually discovered/noted first, before serif was. There are many kinds of serifs, but the two main types are Adnate and Abrupt.
