Hello Vectornators,
Today we're talking about descenders. A descender is the part of a character that descends below the baseline for letters such as p, q, j, and y. But there's a lot more to descenders than meets the eye and they influence your design in a very important way. This video will tell you all about it.
This episode is part of a series called Vectornator Dictionary, which is meant to explain the basic terms and concepts of graphic design. We really hope you enjoy it!
