Aim to use each typeface equally (⅓ each). For each term, select the most appropriate letter to exemplify the term. You can use more that one term on one letter if your work does not look cluttered. Try to be precise in the sketching of the letter form. Be creative in your composition and a color palette is allowed. You can also find type anatomy terms here: https://www.fontshop.com/glossary https://typedecon.com/blogs/type-glossary ASSIGNMENT ONE: PART TWO Reference the reading material found on the class blog (Type & Typography, Baines and Haslam, pages 15-17) and identify four differences in the three attached type samples (Bembo, Baskerville and Didot), and 4 similarities.
