1In typography, what is a serif?
A.A small finishing stroke at the end of a letter's main strokes
B.The enclosed counter space inside a letter such as 'o'
C.The vertical space between two lines of type
D.A decorative illustration placed at the start of a chapter
Explanation: A serif is the small stroke or foot attached to the ends of a letterform's main strokes, as in Times New Roman. Typefaces with these strokes are called serif faces, while those without are sans-serif.
2Which of the following typefaces is a sans-serif design?
A.Times New Roman
B.Garamond
C.Helvetica
D.Baskerville
Explanation: Helvetica is a neo-grotesque sans-serif typeface with no finishing strokes on its letterforms. Times New Roman, Garamond and Baskerville are all serif typefaces.
3What does the term 'leading' refer to in typography?
A.The horizontal spacing between individual letters
B.The vertical distance between the baselines of successive lines of type
C.The width of the margins around a text block
D.The thickness of the main vertical strokes of a letter
Explanation: Leading is the vertical spacing measured from baseline to baseline of consecutive lines, named after the strips of lead inserted between lines of metal type. Appropriate leading strongly affects readability.
4Kerning is best described as:
A.Adjusting the space between a specific pair of characters for optical balance
B.Setting all lines of a paragraph to equal length
C.Increasing the space uniformly across a whole block of text
D.Choosing the correct typeface for a headline
Explanation: Kerning adjusts the spacing between an individual pair of glyphs — for example tightening 'AV' so the diagonal strokes do not leave an optical gap. Uniform spacing changes applied to a range of text are tracking (letter-spacing), not kerning.
5In the digital point system used in graphic design, one point is equal to:
A.1/100 of a centimetre
B.1/12 of an inch
C.1/72 of an inch
D.1/10 of a millimetre
Explanation: In desktop publishing the PostScript point is defined as exactly 1/72 of an inch (about 0.353 mm), so 72 points equal one inch. Type sizes and leading are conventionally specified in points.
6The x-height of a typeface is:
A.The height of capital letters measured from the baseline
B.The height of the lowercase letter 'x', i.e. the body of lowercase letters excluding ascenders and descenders
C.The maximum height reached by ascenders such as 'b' and 'd'
D.The total height from the lowest descender to the highest ascender
Explanation: X-height is the distance from the baseline to the top of a lowercase 'x', representing the height of the main body of lowercase letters. Typefaces with a large x-height generally appear bigger and more legible at the same point size.
7Which statement best distinguishes legibility from readability?
A.Legibility concerns how easily individual characters can be distinguished; readability concerns how comfortably extended text can be read
B.Legibility applies only to headlines; readability applies only to captions
C.They are exact synonyms used interchangeably in typography
D.Readability is a property of the typeface; legibility is a property of the printing press
Explanation: Legibility is about character recognition — whether one letter can be told apart from another — and is largely a property of typeface design. Readability is about how a whole passage performs in continuous reading, influenced by size, leading, line length and contrast.
8Rockwell is a well-known example of which type classification?
A.Old-style serif
B.Slab serif
C.Script
D.Humanist sans-serif
Explanation: Rockwell is a geometric slab serif: its serifs are heavy, rectangular (unbracketed) slabs with roughly the same stroke weight as the main stems. Slab serifs emerged in the 19th century for posters and advertising.
9Old-style serif typefaces such as Garamond are typically characterised by:
A.Unbracketed rectangular slab serifs and uniform stroke width
B.Low contrast between thick and thin strokes, diagonal stress, and bracketed serifs
C.Perfectly vertical stress and extreme stroke contrast
D.Geometric letterforms built from circles and straight lines
Explanation: Old-style (humanist) serifs derive from Renaissance handwriting: they show modest thick-thin contrast, a diagonal axis of stress (as if drawn with a broad-nib pen), and serifs that join the stem with a curved bracket.
10In typesetting, a 'widow' is:
A.The first line of a paragraph left alone at the bottom of a column
B.A single short line of a paragraph stranded at the top of a new page or column
C.A hyphenated word at the end of every line
D.A paragraph indented on both sides
Explanation: A widow is the last line of a paragraph that falls alone at the top of the next page or column, breaking the visual flow of text. Good typographic practice eliminates widows by adjusting leading, tracking or text breaks.
