Tipografía III: Partes de los carácteres / Typography III: Parts of the characters
Una letra debe tener elementos mediante los cuales sea reconocida. Debemos conocer las distintas partes de las que se compone un carácter tipográfico y reconocer cuales son fundamentales y cuales prescindibles debido a su carácter ornamental.
Por ejemplo, para crear una tipografía ornamental o de fantasía debemos jugar principalmente con los elementos accesorios de una fuente como pueden ser los remates o las colas.
- Fuste, asta o montante: parte principal que define la letra.
- Brazo: parte diagonal u horizontal que sale de un trazo vertical.
- Travesaño o cruz: Línea principal que cruza el trazo principal.
- Bucle o panza: trazo curvo.
- Filete: línea horizontal entre diagonales, verticales o curvas.
- Remate o terminal: pequeño trazo final que no sigue la dirección del trazo principal.
- Lágrima: final de un trazo con forma redondeada.
- Espolón: final de un trazo que no termina en lágrima ni en remate.
- Cola: prolongación inferior.
- Ojal superior e inferior: línea que forma la curvatura en la letra G/g.
- Cuello: línea que une los dos ojales de la g.
- Oreja: terminación de algunas letras como la r o la g.

A letter must have elements by which it is recognized. We must know the different parts that compose a typeface which are fundamental and recognize which are expendable due to their ornamental character.
For example, to create ornamental or fancy fonts we must play mainly with the accessories from a font such as auctions or queues.
