Items used in this video include: Sweethart Font Blackboard Patterns 50 Human Anatomy Line Icons Beasty Font Virginia: Great to see this in mainstream media. However, the baseline is not positioned correctly in this video. Flat letters will meet the baseline (as in the opening image. However, in the images explaining ascenders and descenders, the baseline is moved downward, below the curved letterforms, which is incorrect. Rounded letterforms actually cross the baseline slightly. If they were to meet the line, they would optically appear smaller than the other letters on the line. This is also true of the meanline and capline. Enjoy learning about typography!

My father was a typesetter, so I learned many of the terms used in this video at very early age, probably as soon as I learned to read.
