Sophie Calle-Calle's work is distinguished by its use of arbitrary sets of constraints, and evokes the French literary movement of the 1960s known as Oulipo. Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability, and examines identity and intimacy.

things

What are small capitals? How are they different than setting something in ALL CAPS? Does your font have small caps? If not name a font that does.are uppercase characters set at the same height and weight as surrounding lowercase letters or text figures. They are used in running text to prevent capitalized words from appearing too large on the page, and as a method of emphasis or distinctiveness for text alongside or instead of italics or whenbold  is inappropriate.

What are ligatures? Why are they used? When are they not used? What are common ligatures? Does your font have ligatures? If not name a font that does.
are combinations of characters that were designed because, in metal typesetting, the overhanging ascenders in the letter 'f' would crash into an ascender or the dot of an i if it directly followed the f. ligatures have better results in photographic or digital settings as well because the ascender of the 'f' and the dot of the letter i  are designed to join instead of arbitrarily overlapping. If extra letter spacing is used in a text, however, these combination of characters have to be set separately. 
What is the difference between a foot mark and an apostrophe?
A punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritic mark used for three main reasons: to omit one or more letters, mark a possessive case, and mark plurals. 

What is the difference between an inch mark and a quote mark (smart quote)?
inch mark-  two straight vertical lines making up the symbol denoting to the unit of measurement inches. Quotation marks-punctuation marks appearing at the beginning and ending of a quote. Smart quotation marks have a curve to them.

Hyphen- punctuation mark used to join words and to separate syllables of a single word.

FONT STUDY

OLD STYLE: 
             -greater contrast between thick and thin strokes.
             -the serifs on the ascenders are more wedge shaped 
             -diagonal stress (the thinnest parts of letters are at an angle rather than at the top and bottom)
             
EX: Bembo, Garamond, Centaur, Palatino, Century Oldstyle


TRANSITIONAL
       -axis  of the thick-thin contrast is almost vertical or slopes very slightly to the left
       -base serifs are only a little or virtually not rounded  at the bottom
      -the vertical stance is almost always the case for the lowercase ) but not for the lowercase e.
             -lowercase e has a horizontal cross-bar
             -the top serifs of lowercase letters are roof-shaped


EX: Baskerville, Fournier, Caledonia, Times New Roman, Utopia.


_ Sans Serif: grotesque - 

• It was originally coined by William Thorowgood of Fann Street Foundry, the first person to produce a sans-serif type with lower case, in 1832
• The name came from the Italian word 'grottesco', meaning 'belonging to the cave'
•  There is some contrast in thickness of strokes. They have squareness of curve, and curling close-set jaws
• The R usually has a curled leg and the G is spurred. The ends of the curved strokes are usually horizontal
• Examples of grotesque fonts: Grotesque No. 6, Condensed Sans No. 7, Monotype Headline Bold, Franklin Gothic, Akzidez Grotesk
