 Definitions
Ear – The small stroke that projects from the top of the lowercase g.
Stem- The main vertical portion of a letterform.
Bowl- A curved portion of the letterform that encloses a counter. The exception is the lower curved part of a lowercase g.
Ascender- The portion of a lowercase letterform that ascends above the x-height of the typeface.
Descender- The portion of a lowercase letterform that descends below the baseline in a typeface. In some typefaces, the uppercase J and Q also descend the baseline.
Counter- The negative space of a letterform. A counter may be either fully or partially enclosed.
Open-counter- The open space in a fully or partly closed area within a letter.
Serif- Small decorative lines added to the end of a letterform’s stem and stroke. Serifs improve readability by leading the eye along a line of type.
Terminal- The end or termination of a stem or stroke with no serif.
Tail- The stroke or loop at the end of a letterform such as the tail of an uppercase Q or the stroke of an uppercase R.
Link- The part of a lowercase g that connects the loop to the bowl.
Baseline- The invisible line upon which a line of the text rests.
X-height- Is the body of lowercase letters of a typeface, excluding the ascenders and descenders. It can vary considerably among typefaces with the same point size which is based on the width of certain uppercase letters.
Spur- The projection that extends the endpoint of the curved portion of a letterform; it is smaller than a serif.
Spine- The main portion of the letter s, both upper and lowercase, that curves left to right.
Counter
By using the idea of a hula hoop representing the idea of the letter o I filled the negative space inside of it with the image of the actual space as a play on words.
Baseline
Using the letter L I used a play on words again with the term Baseline being where a letter rests therefore I made the letter L a deckchair to rest on the line.
Descender
By mimicking the letter J with the lower handle part of an umbrella, I created a line for it to sit on as the J descends underneath the line.
