Dash of Inspiration: Typography Terms
A Dash of Inspiration, A Cup of Creativity by Doreen
Last week, I ran across this great reference tool of Typography Terms and found it so useful, I wanted to pass it on in the hopes some of you might also find it handy. The visual examples and short, sweet definitions make it so much easier to remember how each of these terms apply when I’m designing.

Thank you for sharing this–I found the part in the article describing the difference between serif and sans serif helpful. I had read about it before, but never quite understood. Now I finally get it.
You’re welcome Tracie, glad to hear it was useful to you!
