Review Week 17

From The Article, "Who Shot the Serif", I learned about how the serif originated, and where its name might've come from. I also learned about different typography terms, Adnate Serifs. and Abrupt Serifs.


The serif originated from painting letters, and the wider ends the paint would leave. Adnate Serifs are more organic serifs, an join the letter from a curve. Abrupt serifs are more square and rigid, and don't flow.
