1. Choose 4 serif fonts that you find appealing.
2. In the 6" square format, show the four fonts in black at 200 pt representing the following letters: lowercase a, uppercase A, lowercase f, lowercase g, uppercase S. Each letter should have its own 6" square (see JPG for example of how to set this up).
3. Print each of the squares out. On graph paper, carefully trace each of the letters in the four fonts you chose. Have a graph page for each of the letters, and show them side by side, all using the same baseline. Notice the different curves and angles in each font, as well as the different heights (even though they are the same point size). Your graph layouts should be in landscape format, so you can show the four fonts all side by side. Neatly write the name of the font under each.
4. Be prepared to talk about your favorite of the four: why you like it, aspects of the forms, and some historical aspects of it (creator, year designed, etc.).
