How to Draw Letters – Its easy, right?
I was recently in the situation where I had to explain what a font was and that it was not as simple as just writing the alphabet. To help the explanation I scribbled down the letter ‘A’ with serifs and all the fancy guide lines to help the symmetry, and since then that person has not looked at type the same.
