Diacritics: Typographic Depth Charge
Neat post up on I Love Typography about diacritics (which I assume some certain people will get a kick out of). What are diacritics? Well, let Apple dictionary tell you:
diacritic |ˌdīəˈkritik|noun a sign, such as an accent or cedilla, which when written above or below a letter indicates a difference in pronunciation from the same letter when unmarked or differently marked.
Or to the left you can see an image for all you “visual people.” Anyhow, the article is really interesting. For those of you who have conquered the difference between hash marks and quote marks and really want to take your type knowledge to the next level, make this your next endeavor.
