About typography other uses Baseline disambiguation Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 File Typography Line Terms.svg right 410px In European and West Asian typography and penmanship , the baseline is the line upon which most letters sit and below which descender s extend. In the example to the right, the letter p has a descender the other letters sit on the red baseline. Most, though not all, typeface s are similar in the following ways as regards the baseline Majuscule capital letters sit on the baseline. The most common exceptions are the J and Q. Lining figures see Arabic numerals sit on the baseline. The following text figures have descenders 3 4 5 7 9. The following Lower case lowercase letters have descenders g j p q y. Glyphs with rounded lower and upper extents 0 3 6 8 c C G J o O Q dip very slightly below the baseline overshoot to create the optical illusion that they sit on the baseline, and rise above the x height or capital height to create the illusion that they have the same height as flat glyphs such as those for H x X 1 5 7 . Peter Karow s Digital Typefaces suggests that typical overshoot is about 1.5 . The vertical distance of the base lines of consecutive lines in a paragraph is also known as line height or leading , although the latter can also refer to the baseline distance minus the font size. North Indian scripts have a characteristic hanging baseline the letters are aligned to the top of the writing line, marked by an overbar, with diacritics extending above the baseline. East Asian scripts have no baseline each glyph sits in a square box, with neither ascenders nor descenders. When mixed with scripts with a low baseline, East Asian characters should be set so that the bottom of the character is between the baseline and the descender height.

Rustic capitals in Latin capitalis rustica is an Ancient Rome ancient Roman calligraphy calligraphic script. As the term is negatively connotated supposing an opposition to the more civilized form of the Roman square capitals Bernhard Bischoff prefers to call the script canonized capitals . Rustic capitals are similar to Roman square capitals , but are less rigid, influenced more by pen and ink writing on papyrus or parchment than the writing used for inscription s. The letters are thinner and more compressed, use many more curved lines than do square capitals, and have descender s extending below the baseline. The script was used between the 1st century and the 9th century, most often between the 4th and 6th centuries. After the 5th century, rustic capitals began to fall out of use, but they continued to be used as a display script in titles and headings, along with uncial as the script of the main text. About fifty manuscripts with rustic capitals survive, including four copies of works by Virgil including the Vergilius Vaticanus and the Vergilius Romanus , one copy of a work by Terence , and one of a work by Prudentius .
