How many points are in an inch? How many points are in a pica?
72 points in an inch and 12 points in a pica. 

Of the seven classifications, which classification(s) would best work as body type? Why?
Serif would probably work best because it is simple and very legible. 

Identify the lowercase characters that have ascenders?

b, d, f, h, k, l, t

Identify the lowercase characters that have descenders?
g, j, p, q, y

Classify the following typefaces and briefly explain why you believe it should be classified that way:



Because of it's thick lines, it should be classified as blackletter. 



Because it has constant (in size) serifs, it should be serif old style. 



Because of its handwritten look and brush-like strokes, it should be calligraphy. 

Because the lines vary from thick to thin, it should be serif modern.
