    TEXT INFORMATION

    AND MEDIA
    What is
    text?
    In academic terms, a text is anything that conveys a set of meanings
    to the person who examines it.
    You might have thought that texts were limited to written materials,
    such as books, magazines, newspapers, and ‘zines (an informal term
    for magazine that refers especially to fanzines and webzines). Those
    items are indeed texts—but so are movies, paintings, television
    shows, songs, political cartoons, online materials, advertisements,
    maps, works of art, and even rooms full of people.
    According to Rose (2015), a text is any “human-readable sequence of
    characters or even glyphs which are associated with ancient writing
    culture. Text, when used in information technology, is distinct from
    “noncharacter encoded data, such as graphics images in the form of
    bitmaps and program code.”
    Types of Texts

    n of Text”
    (Parekh, 2006)
    1.
    Plaintext

    Consisting of fixed
    sized characters
    having essentially the
    same type of
    appearance.

    Hypertext
    serve to link
    different electronic
    documents and
    enable users to jump
    from one to the
    other in a nonlinear
    way.
    The Anatomy of Fonts
    Before we delve into the world of font types and font styles, it can be helpful to understand a few things
    about the anatomy of type.

    Baseline- All fonts sit on an invisible plane.


    • The cap height is the top plane of a capital letter, like the straight
    line on the top of a capital T. The cross bar is the line in the
    center that crosses a capital H or A. Some letters, like a lowercase
    h or b have what’s called anascender, a line that crosses
    above the mean line. Others have descenders, which—you
    guessed it!—drop below the baseline. Classic descenders are the little loop
    on a lowercase g or the lower half of a y.
