07 Small Capitals

Small caps are uppercase letterforms that are shorter in height than the capitals letters. They are designed to blend with lowercase text. When designed as part of a typeface, they are most often the height of the lowercase x (or very slightly taller).

12 Typographic Color
Every typeface has its own apparent lightness, darkness, or optical weight. In typography, typographic color can be describe the balance between black and white on the page of text. A typeface’s color is determined by stroke width, x-height, character width and serif styles.

15 Numerals, Figures
The uppercase developed from the inscriptional capitals of the Romans. The lowercase from the European uncial alphabets. The numerals or figures we know were invented in India. Through the influence of Persian and Arab mathematicians they spread westward during the Middle Ages.
