Proportions. Which x-height to define? Which descender depth? Defining these proportions are essential, and very strongly connected to the purpose of the type. The proportions within a certain typeface are influencing the way your type will work & look. For example, it's impossible to create a space saving newspaper typeface with an extremely wide body width.
x高度應(yīng)該定多高？下伸部應(yīng)該多長？確定這些比例至關(guān)重要，并且與字體的用途緊密相關(guān)。字體的比例將影響其外觀及應(yīng)用。比如說，如果你想設(shè)計一種節(jié)約版面的字體，那就不能給它設(shè)置極大的字寬。
Extremely short descenders will give a strange look to a text typeface. Even worse, they might not be visible at all anymore. But extremely short descenders can also be a smart decision, while creating a display or headline type. For a text typeface the ascender height should be as big or, even better, bigger than then cap height to give a optical pleasurable result (see drawing).
如果下伸部很短，字體看上去會很怪。或者更糟，閱讀者可能根本無法發(fā)現(xiàn)它。但很短的下伸部也可能是一個聰明的決定，當(dāng)它用于特排字體或者標(biāo)題字體的時候。 對一個正文字體來說，上伸部最好是和大寫高度一樣（或者更高一些更棒），以獲得良好的視覺效果。如圖。
