Engravers Roman vs. Kabel Medium

Engravers is a serif typeface and Kabel is a sans serif.

Engravers has many modulations from thick to thins.  Kabel is a solid stroke throughout.

Both typefaces have distinguishable qualities about them. For instance. Kabel has shortened arms like in the lowercase "f" and.. shortened legs (?) like in the lowercase "j".

In Engravers, there are no differences between upper and lower case. I guess essentially, there is no lower case in engravers. Kabel has a short x-height.. Engravers doesn't really have one.. since they're all caps..

CRACKED OUT

this is insane.

its 4:17 am... still working on sketches...

i've never NOT slept before.. .... in my life...... ever..

it's kind of painful...

gah... i hate doing this..

but as for this weeks typeface comparisions..

Garamond vs. Baskerville

Both typefaces have serifs.

The set-width in baskerville is more than in garamond.

It seems like the x-heights are about the same for both typefaces..

Garamonts serifs are more rounded at the end compared to baskervilles.

The modulation in baskerville is more drastic than in garamond..

comments and suggestions PLZ.

COCHIN AND GOUDY!

COCHIN AND GOUDY!

These two typefaces are both serif fonts. They are both similar in weight and modulation. The x-height in cochin is smaller than the x-height in Goudy. Also, the serifs differ slightly in these two typefaces. Cochin has a more pointy serif, and Goudy has a more squared serif. The upper serifs in the letters such as d, l, and h also make these two typefaces distinguishable. Cochin's are more horizontal, and have a slight dip in them. Goudy's are angled and point down to the bottom left. Other letters, such as y and j make these two distinct.
