T
Across
- 2. Adjusting the space between two letters so "AV" doesn't look like a car crash
- 4. the enclosed/partially enclosed space inside a bowl (b, o, g). Directly completes the BOWL entry conceptually.
- 6. When two letters get too close and just... merge, like fi or fl
- 8. The part of a lowercase letter that climbs above the x-height, like on a b or d
- 11. the horizontal stroke on A, H, e, f, t.
- 14. Type that leans in, like it's telling you a secret
- 15. Letterforms built from disconnected shapes so a physical stencil could work
- 16. The short dash that breaks a word across a line or joins compound words
- 17. The part of a lowercase letter that dips below the baseline, like on a g or y
Down
- 1. the curved or angled end of a stroke that isn't a serif (as in c, a, r).
- 3. The curved part of a letter that encloses a counter, as in b, p, or g
- 5. short (3), the small stroke off the bowl of a lowercase g. Good for grid density.
- 7. The pointy top where two strokes meet, like on an A or M
- 9. The little foot at the end of a letter stroke, like this text (probably) has
- 10. A flourish that shows off, usually on a capital or an italic tail
- 12. The main curved stroke of an S
- 13. the dot over i or j. Obscure enough to feel like a reward for people who actually know type, which fits your "obsessed with typography" bar.
