Across
- 3. the overall density or tonal quality of a mass of type on a field—page or screen—usually referring to the mass of text
- 5. sizes 14 pt. and over that is designed to be noticed at a distance, in headlines and titles.
- 7. the height of a lowercase letter, excluding ascenders and descenders.
- 9. typeface that most resembles handwriting. Letters usually slant and often are joined.
- 10. the space enclosed by the strokes of a letter.
- 12. spatial interval between letters.
- 14. a letterform, number, punctuation mark, or any single unit in a font.
- 17. Roman typeface, introduced in the late fifteenth century, most directly descended in form from letters drawn with a broad-edged pen. Low contrast between thick and thin strokes, thick bracketed serifs, long ascenders and descenders, smallish counters.
- 18. the arrangement of text type (flush left, centered, flush right, justified, etc).
- 21. sans serif with slight variations in stroke width, letters are fairly wide, rounded letters are often a bit squared off.
- 22. a small stroke added to the upper or lower end of the main stroke of a character.
Down
- 1. the space between words.
- 2. defines the bottom of capital letters and of lowercase letters, excluding descenders.
- 4. tend to be heavy in appearance, they have very small spaces within the letters, there is very little space between letters, and very tight spacing between lines so their overall color on the page is heavy or black.
- 6. serifs are generally unbracketed or square with a lack of contrast between strokes--the thicks and thins are of equal or almost equal weight.
- 8. the design of a single set of characters unified by consistent visual properties. These properties create the essential character, which remains recognizable even if the face is modified.
- 11. variations of a typeface, which include variations in weight (light, medium, bold), width (condensed, regular, extended), and angle (roman or upright, and italic), as well as elaborations on the basic form (outline, shaded, decorated).
- 13. developed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, sharper, flatter serifs, more geometric, higher contrast between thick and thin strokes.
- 15. type that is 12 points and less is designed to be legible in small sizes and readable in large quantities.
- 16. adjustment of the optical space between a pair of letters such as AW in large point sizes.
- 19. spatial interval between two lines of type. Specified as the measurement from the baseline to the baseline of the line above (15/17 is 15 point type with 2 points of leading).
- 20. serif typeface, developed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, whose form is more geometric in construction, as opposed to the Old Style typefaces, which stayed close to forms created by the chisel-edged pen. Extreme contrast between thick and thin strokes, horizontal or nearly horizontal unbracketed serifs.
