What are small capitals?

uppercase letterforms that are shorter in height than the capitals in a given typeface. When designed as part of a text face, they are most often the height of the lowercase (or very slightly taller), so that they harmonize with both the caps and the lowercase characters. Adobe Garamond has small caps.

What are ligatures?

Ligatures occur where two or more graphemes or letters are joined as a single glyph. Adobe Garamond has ligatures.

What are foot marks?

In HTML, you use foot marks which are either straight quotes (" for inches, ' feet) or their slightly-slanted equivalents, called primes (′ & ″).

What are inch marks and quote marks?

Quotation marks are not to be used for emphasis; they are used when quoting someone.

What are hyphens, en dash and em dashes?

The hyphen connects two things that are intimately related

The en dash connects things that are related to each other by distance, as in the May–September

The em dash allows, in a manner similar to parentheses, an additional thought to be added within a sentence by sort of breaking away from that sentence

Typography

Old Style- style of serif font developed by Renaissance typographers to replace the Blackletter style of type.

examples:

Transitional- represents the initial departure from centuries of Old Style tradition and immediately predate the Modern period.

examples:

Modern- represents the initial departure from centuries of Old Style tradition and immediately predate the Modern periods

examples:

Slab Serif- the serifs are square and larger, bolder than serifs of previous typestyles. Considered a sub-classification of Modern

examples:

Sans Serif- type which does not have serifs — the little extra strokes found at the end of main vertical and horizontal strokes of some letterforms

examples:

Stroke Weight- The main diagonal portion of a letterform such as in N, M, or Y is the stroke.
Axis- An imaginary line drawn from top to bottom of a glyph bisecting the upper and lower strokes

Lining Figures- approximate capital letters in that they are uniform in height, and generally align with the baseline and the cap height

Non-aligning figures- designed to simulate the x-height of lowercase letters

Ligatures- Two or more letters are joined together to form one glyph or characters
