While rummaging through my old files I came across this typography diagram I designed in a typography class way back in art school at The University of Alabama.
We had to create a diagram based on our recently gained knowledge of the intricate parts of letter forms.
Looking back I realize my design was a little rickety, but the info was there and it was enough to get the grade I needed to move on.
