Review Week 17

- The author asks, "Have you learned something?"
I learned that "serif" can be tracked to ancient Rome where painters are left with slightly wider sections at the ends of the brush strokes when painting letters. Sanserif means without serif, and uruko (the Japanese word) translates to "forms with/made with legs". Adnate serifs are ore organic and the abrupt serifs are more rigid and do not flow into the base.
