Q.4 Explain
all the type of serif-typefaces with 2-2 examples. Diagrams can be
created for better understanding of serifs.
Ans. (1) Old style (2) Transitional (3) Neoclassical & Didoes (4) slab.
(1)Old Style :- This category includes the first roman types, originally created between the late 15th and mind 18th centuries, as well as typefaces pattern after those designed in this earlier period. The axis of curves strokes is normally inclined to the left in these designs, so that weight stress is at approximately 8:00 and 2:00 o’ clock.

(2)Transitional
serifs:- English printer and typography john Baskerville
established this style in the mid 18th century. Weight contrast Is
more pronounced than in old style design. Serifs are still breasted
and head serifs are oblique.
(3)
Neoclassical & didone serifs:- These are typefaces created
within the late 18th center or their direct descendathes.
The work Of Giambattista Bodoni epitomizes this style of types. In
many cases, stoke terminals are “ball shapes tether than an
evocation of a brand pen effect. These tend to be highly mummer
designs, with dearly.
(4) Slab

for advertising display. These typefaces have very heavy serifs with
minimal or no bracketing. Generally, Change in stroke weight are
addition of heavy (Stroke Weight) serifs.
Q.5 Explain
all the type of san-serif typefaces with 2-2 Examples. Diagram can be
created for better understand?
Ans. (1) Grotesque (2) Square (3) Humanistic (4) Geometric
Ans. (1) Grotesque (2) Square (3) Humanistic (4) Geometric
Grotesque
Sans serif :- These are the first commercially popular sums serif
typefaces. Stroke contrast is less pronounced than Curlier designs,
and much of the “squatness” in curved storks has been rounded.
Normally the most obvious distinguishing character tic of these faces
in this single bowl g and more monotone weight stress.
Square
san-serif:- These design are generally based on grotesque
character traits and propositions, but have a definite and, in some
instance, dramatic squaring of morally curved strokes. They usually
have more attitude character spacing than their Sans serif cousins
and tend to be limited to display designs.

sans serif:- Simple geometric shapes influence the construction
of these typefaces. Stacks have the appearance Being. Strict
monoclines and character shapes are made up of geometric forms .
Geometric sans tend to be less reachable than grotesques.
Q.6 Explain
all the anatomy of typefaces with illustration?
Ans. (1) Aperture (2) Arm (3) Ascender (4) Baseline (5) Bowl (6) Counter (7) Crossbar (8) Descended (9) Diagonal Stroke (10) Ear
Ans. (1) Aperture (2) Arm (3) Ascender (4) Baseline (5) Bowl (6) Counter (7) Crossbar (8) Descended (9) Diagonal Stroke (10) Ear
- Aperture:-Opening at the end of an open counter.
- Arm:-A horizontal stroke not connected on one or both ends.
- Ascender:-An upward vertical stroke found on extends above the typeface’s x-height.
- Baseline:-The invisible line where letters sit
- Bowl:-A curved stroke that encloses a letter’s counter.
- Counter:-Fully or partially enclosed space within a letter.
- Crossbar:-A horizontal stroke
- Descended:-A downward vertical stroke lowercase letters that extends below the Baseline.
- Diagonal Stroke :- An angled stroke
- Ear:- A small stroke projecting from the upper right bowl of some lowercase g’s
