Okay so a while back, I was dissatisfied with seemingly every infographic I could find about the common terminology of typography variables, so I ended up making this cheat sheet visualization for clarifying them for myself and others. Then I simply forgot to post or use it anywhere and moved on. This was back in *checks notes* ... *checks again* April 2019?!
