Parts of the Letter

When I used to do any type of design work or anything that involves text, I didn’t really consider the effects that the font can have on something being designed. After looking at the “Parts of the Letter,” I was able to gain a stronger idea on the types of font there are and how it can be used properly.
            I wasn’t completely oblivious to the type that I was using, but I mainly just focused on how it looked to me. Although this document tells you about the different types and components of font, it made me realize what I could possibly change the next time I work on designing something. Not only did I make this realization, but also I learned about all of the various aspects to the types of fonts. I never knew that all of the curves, angles, and other elements had names and certain ways of applying those to letters.

            Overall, this document gave me a better sense of how to incorporate fonts into various designs, and how effective it can make in a design. There are many ways of implementing text into design in an interesting way, but I think knowing the basics of types of font can greatly affect how the text is placed in a composition.
