Typography Concepts

  • Cap Height

    The height of a capital letter measured from the baseline to the top of flat capitals like 'H' or 'I'.

  • Contrast (Typography)

    The difference between the thickest and thinnest parts of a letter's strokes. High-contrast fonts (like Didot) have dramatic variation.

  • Stroke

    Any line that forms part of a letter — vertical, horizontal, diagonal, or curved. Stroke contrast defines much of a typeface's character.

  • Terminal

    The end of a stroke that doesn't have a serif — can be ball, beak, teardrop, or flat shaped. Terminal style is a key identifier of type classification.

  • Crossbar

    The horizontal stroke in letters like 'A', 'H', 'e', 'f'. Its position relative to the x-height affects readability.

  • Kerning

    The adjustment of space between individual letter pairs to achieve visually consistent spacing.
