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

For project 2 I designed a typeface called Funky Pixel. To communicate its attributes I had to design a fold-up brochure to display its funky, retro energy. The final deliverables for the project were two large format prints of a 16 page, double parallel fold brochure/poster with a sheet size of 21 x 24.5 inches. My typeface was inspired by pixelation and 70’s album covers and can be downloaded on fontstruct.

Garamond is a typeface first introduced by Claude Garamond when he cut types for a Parisian scholar-printer. Sixty years after Garamond’s death Jean Jannon created a set of typefaces similar to garamond, but were more asymmetrical and irregular in slope and axis. The typeface disappeared for two hundred years and when it resurfaced it was wrongly attributed to Claude Garamond until 1972. The typeface is a serif font that has thicker tails, stem, and shoulders with thinner strokes for bars, cross bars, and terminals. keywords: sleek, contrast, thin
Serifa is a typeface designed in 1966 by a Swedish designer, Adrian Frutiger. It is based off of Frutiger’s earlier typeface, Univers, and was designed for the Bauer foundry. It is a slab serif font typeface with humanistic forms that make it easier to read than most slab serif fonts. This makes it readable for headlines and logos. keywords bold, consistent, strong
Platelet is a typeface designed by Conor Mangat when he attended a 4-day workshop to create a typeface for a specific outdoor purpose at CalArts in October 1992 . Mangat based platelet off of characters found on California’s license plates and Emigre decided to put it on the market in July 1994. The font is unique for its direct imitation of license plate lettering as the letters were traced on wax paper. keywords: curvy, robotic, fun

The third and final phase allowed us to lock text into any corner with any three sizes and any three styles of Univers. Of those fifteen layouts here are my final three:
