Anticipatory Set
We are surrounded by typefaces: in magazines, newspapers, books, and billboards.
How are typefaces similar and how are they different?

Teaching—Baseline
Baseline is the invisible line upon which type sits.
![Page 5: Anatomy of Type Anne Metcalf. Objective Students will be able to recognize the characteristics that distinguishes one typeface from another: Baseline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e6a5503460f94b67eb9/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Teaching—Cap Height
Cap height is the height of the capital letters.
![Page 6: Anatomy of Type Anne Metcalf. Objective Students will be able to recognize the characteristics that distinguishes one typeface from another: Baseline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e6a5503460f94b67eb9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Teaching—x-height The x-height is the distance between the baseline
of a line of type and tops of the main body of lower case letters (i.e. excluding ascenders and descenders).
![Page 7: Anatomy of Type Anne Metcalf. Objective Students will be able to recognize the characteristics that distinguishes one typeface from another: Baseline](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070408/56649e6a5503460f94b67eb9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Teaching—x-height continued
Typefaces of the same point size may have different x-height. These are the same point size.

Teaching—Ascender
Ascenders are the strokes that rise above
the x-height.

Teaching—Descender
Descenders are the strokes that dip below the baseline.

Guided Practice Draw the baseline Draw a line
showing the cap height
Shade in the area of the x-height
Label any ascenders and descenders

Closure You have learned how to recognize the
characteristics that distinguishes one typeface from another: Baseline Cap height x-height Ascender Descender

Independent Practice Find a typeface for each of the following
descriptions: A typeface that does not follow a straight baseline. A typeface that has a high cap height in relationship to its
x-height. A typeface that has a large x-height in relationship to its
cap height. A typeface that has simple, straight ascenders. A typeface that has elaborate, curved descenders.

Good Job!
The arrow is pointing to the baseline.

Good Job!
The arrows are pointing to
the cap height of the “G” and the “B.”

Good Job!
The arrows are points to
the ascending strokes
on the “t” and the “h.”
