Anatomy of Type

We learned about the parts of type characters through an assignment called Anatomy of Type. I tried to be creative and at the same time clear in the message I wanted my poster to give. 

I wanted the poster to be a little playful and friendly to read. I started with black, white, and red for the poster design; and ended with a soft yellow, orange, and blue color.  I managed to draw a curve line and used the type on a path tool for the word Typography.   I used the orange color to highlight the parts in each font. It took me a while, but I organized all the details and descriptions. 

I was a little confused about the letter T.  I wasn't sure if the Bar was also part of the serif. After reviewing the week's information again, I found out the serif area on the T is not included on the Bar.
