4. How are the letters drawn in relation to the baseline and headline?
Some letters ascend above the headline or descend below the baseline. These are not always as we might expect:
| Ascenders: |  |
 |
 |
 |
|
| Descenders: |  |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Some other letters, such as N and R, occasionally develop descenders.
