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

I thought you were Dutch since the title word is "Vogel" which means "bird" in Dutch

morowhitewolf In reply to yamkai-san [2010-05-23 17:22:31 +0000 UTC]
Vogel? I'm pretty it's one of those words that doesn't switch "v" with "w" in German so the answer is "I think so!" XD

yamkai-san In reply to morowhitewolf [2010-05-23 21:08:05 +0000 UTC]

I think it is "eagle" in English? They are very pretty birds. I took 4 years of German in high school and managed to not learn very much. Where are you from?

It's so awesome to see something like this on dA, first of all because few people today still take typography seriously, and second because good reference for typographic anatomy is hard to come across. Excellent work!

BryanKun In reply to shases [2009-10-15 00:06:09 +0000 UTC]
Absolutely true. I love typography too, going to print the hi-def version and put in my wall, maybe in a frame. Serious.
Ah, in time, +fav :3
