...Typography (Etymology: typos—type, graphos—written) is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs. Type glyphs are created and modified using a variety of illustration techniques. The arrangement of type involves the selection of typefaces, point size, line length, leading (line spacing), adjusting the spaces between groups of letters (tracking) and adjusting the space between pairs of letters (kerning).

What is the origin of the I am curious as to the origins
of the creative typographic
practice of setting an "O" in
a word smaller, raised above
the baseline and with some
sort of mark under it.
Examples include the "O" in
the ITC Rennie Mackintosh and
Willow fonts. I have seen it
in other places, such as the
new logo for the El Torito
restaurant chain, and on a
Nikola Tesla commemorative
T-shirt. Why is the "O" and no
other character singled out
for this treatment?

More than likely it is just a decorative style. I have also seen C's in lower case and raised with a line under them in names such as McIntyre... some of the older typewriters I used had this also on there. I would think it would be similar to the numbers 0 and 7 having a slash thru them or the z having a slash thru it. Cultural or decorative styles is my answer. |
