Letter Drawings

Some observations I have made while drawing my name in both serif and sans serif styles:

Serif: Serifs, thick and thin stroke weight/width for different strokes

Sans Serif: No serifs, same stroke weight/width throughout

Both: Has the same cap height and baseline since it’s all capital letters, different kerning (space between letters?) between each letter and each word

 

Transitional typeface: extremely thick and thin stroke weight, the contrast of stroke weight is higher
