Description
Typographic Anatomy (MUCH LARGER UNDER DL.)This chart was made to be printed and used for reference, not for strictly viewing on the computer (Bodoni isn't such a great screen font). I wanted it to look like a classroom poster, or one of those ones that came in the mail.
I also have an unwrinkled version because, well, sometimes I like to crumple my own posters. <3 Interested parties can download that here.
I made this as sort of a gift for Deviantart, like a tutorial, but more of a handy-hints type thing. It's meant to be more of a simple reference, not too in depth but enough to change the way someone might look at type.
Edit: Thanks so much ^pica-ae for putting me in the Daily Deviations :'D

Very interesting. I have a lot of friends who are graphic design majors and I have heard stories of struggling to get their typography correct.

Oh, that's a good idea! Not many people would know how to find large-format printers. I wasn't expecting this at all, haha!
And thank you very much, pica-ae, for featuring this as a daily deviation. I'm really honored, and incredibly pleased that it was something I very much care about. :'D

yeah, its kinda expensive having it printed out any larger than a4 here, even tho that might be already cool enough hanging over my desk

The first thing that caught my eye was "Vogel" which is the original spelling of my maiden name. Second, it is beautifully categorized in the typography and easy to understand. Thank you!!!

I wanted a big, pretty eye-catcher at the top, and "Vogel" just happened to be on my mind. What a beautiful maiden name!
