23 Spine: The central curved stroke of the letters.

24 Spur: A projectionsmaller than a serif- that reinforces the point at the end of a curved stroke, as in the letter G. 25 Stem: A major vertical or diagonal stroke in the letterform.

S

12 Crossbar:The horizontal stroke connecting two sides of the letterform (as in e, A,and H) or bisecting the main stroke (as in f and t).

13 Descender: A stroke on a lowercase letterform that falls below the baseline.

14 Ear: A small stroke that projects from the upper right side of the bowl of the lowercase roman.

15 Eye: The enclosed part of the lowercase e.

16 Fillet: The contoured edge that connects the serif and stem in bracketed serifs. (Bracketed serifs are connected to the main stroke by this curved edge; unbracketed serifs connect to the main stroke with an abrupt angle without this contoured transition.)

17 Hairline: The thinnest stroke within a typeface that has strokes of varying weights.

G

26 Stroke: Any of the linear elements within a letterform; originally, any mark or dash made by the movement of a pen or brush in writing.

27 Tail: A diagonal stroke or loop at the end of a letter, as in R or j.

4 Meanline: An imaginary line that estblishes the height of the body of lowercase letters.

11 Counter: The negative space that is fully or partially enclosed by a letterform.

22 Shoulder: A curved stroke projecting from a stem.

Beard line: An imaginary line that runs along the bottoms of descenders.

Baseline: An imaginary line upon which the base of each capital rests.

5 x-height: The distance from the baseline to the meanline. Typically, this is the height of lowercase letters and is most easily measured on the lowercase x.

6 All characters align optically on the baseline.The body height of lowercase characters align optically at the x-height,and the tops of capitals align optically along the capline.To achieve precise alignments, the typeface designer makes optical adjustments.

7 Apex: The peak of the triangle of an uppercase A.

8 Arm: A projecting horizontal stroke that is unattached on one or both ends, as in the letters T and E.

19 Link: The stroke that connects the bowl and the loop of a lowercase roman g.
