Family of Type

Baskerville
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
!@#$%^&*()";</?
Baskerville, designed by the Englishman John Baskerville in 1757, is an excellent example of a Transitional typeface. Transitional typefaces are so-called because they form a bridge between the Old Style and the Modern faces. Compared to the Old Style, Baskerville shows greater contrast between the thicks and thins, serifs are less heavily bracketed, and the stress is almost vertical. The letters are very wide for their z-height, are closely fitted, and are of excellent proportions -- making Baskerville one of the most pleasant and readable faces.Baskerville 18 pt, 24 pt Leaded

Type glyphs are modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line leng th, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between g roups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning ). Type desig n is a closely related craft, which some consider distinct and others a part of typography; most typographers do not design typefaces, and some type designers do not consider themselves typographers.
5. Typog raphy is per formed by typesetters, compositors, typographers, graphic designers, art directors, comic book artists, graffiti artists, and clerical workers. Until the Digital Age, ty pography was a speci alized occupation. Digitization opened up typography to new generations of visual designers and lay users.
Typography (from the Greek words = form and writing ) is the art and technique of arranging type, and sometimes modifying typeglyphs.

Learning

I am currently continuing my learning pathway, this time it is in design. I am lucky to be able to improve my knowledge doing my favourite things, working with computers and using my love of art and design.
I am a grandmother and love to be able to continue learning new things, my dreams far outway my talent but it doesn't matter I am constantly exploring new horizons. The horizon I view daily is above, it doesnt get much better.
