    Ascenders

    In typography, an ascender is the part of a letter that extends above the x-height of a font or typeface. Ascenders are commonly found in uppercase letters like “L” and “T”, and lowercase letters like “b”, “d”, “f”, “h”, “k”, “l”, and “t”. The height of the ascender can vary depending on the font or typeface, but it generally extends beyond the height of the lowercase letters to create a visually balanced appearance. #acenders

Descenders are found in letters such as “g,” “j,” “p,” “q,” and “y.” These letters have strokes that descend below the baseline and create a visual anchor for the letters to rest upon. #descenders
