I was not present the day the class took a trip to see typography examples because of a stomach flu, however I did find the “Letter” reading quite fascinating. I have learned a bit about typography from previous design classes, but never in the depth that I learn from the reading. One of the most fascinating things was the different names for the components of a type. I did not know there was so many different categories of type and each categories has their own segment names. Another thing I found rather interesting was how well the book explains how type went from being just that to a form of expression used by renaissance artist all the way to our modern day.
