   I am putting together a guide to typography for www.design-survival.com and wanted to make sure I had included everything on this diagram.

   If you would like to add a tip for new designers on the implementation of typography please add it here: http://design-survival.com/submit-a-tip/

   I like the use of colour, much better than the generic lines, nice.

   Thanks Chris, trying to make it as easy as possible to understand, I've struggled to read some of the simple black versions.

   Very nice and clear illustration of the type anatomy Richard.

   P.s. Don't forget

   1. loop (curved stroke which surrounds a counter, ie 'g')
   2. brackets (curved line connecting the serif to the stroke)
   3. shoulder (part of a curved stroke coming from the stem, ie. 'r')

   and last but not certainly not the least, the x-height of a font.

   Thanks Gert I have added an attachment that hopefully covers everything without making it too complex.

   Yes, good idea. Put the focus on the basic anatomy, and details can be highlighted separately. Great work, can't wait until Monday ;)
