Kerning is the reduction of space between letters. Serif has the extra lines on the ends of letters and San serif fonts have a clean cut edge. Point size is what's used to measure the size of the letters and is 1/72nd of an inch. A baseline is the unseen line which characters sit on and keeps the text straight.
ReplyDeleteKerning is the reduction of space between characters. Serif have extra lines on the end of letters and San serif fonts have no lines on the end with clean cut edges. A point size is used to measure the the size of fonts and a point is 1/72 of an inch. A baseline is a invisible line that letters sit on and it keeps the line even and straight.
ReplyDeleteKerning is the reduction of space between letters or characters. Serifs are small, stylistic, curled edges at the ends of letters. Serif fonts have these, while san serif fonts do not. Point measures the size of the font. Each point represents one seventy-second of an inch, so 18 point type has 1/4 inch letters. A baseline is the invisible line on which characters sit. It is very important in keeping the text straight.

ReplyDeleteSerif is font with curved lines or edges, resulting in a more stylized letter. San Serif, however, lacks any sort of extra lines or curves on letters.
Point size is the form of measurement used to determine the size of a font. Each point is 1/72 of an inch.
A baseline is the line on which the fonts/characters sit. The reason that this is important is because it keeps the line straight.
Kerning is the reduction of space between characters.
ReplyDeleteSerif is a font with small lines off of the original strokes that make up a letter, sans serif is font without these lines. Serif is used for large bodies of text, such as books. While san serif tends to be more common in logo design and websites.
Point size is used to measure the size of a font, one point is equal to 1/72 of an inch.
The baseline is the invisible line that a font sits on. Parts of some letters may pass it, such as the bottom of a y, or the curved part of an e.
