An invisible grid of parallel horizontal lines is used as a constant reference in the creation of a font. It resembles a musical score and its four (or five) horizontal lines represent, from top to bottom, the ascender line (the height of the highest ascender), which is sometimes equivalent to and sometimes higher than the ascent or capline (the height of the capital letters). Next comes the meanline or waist line (the height of a lowercase x), which can be referred to as a high waist line or a low waist line; the baseline (on which the letters appear to rest); and finally, at the very bottom, the descent, descender or beard line (the level to which the lowest descenders descend).

"Design Dictionary , as its name implies and as its subtitle, Perspectives on Design Terminology, elaborates is a comprehensive tome of more than 250 definitions extracted from the world of design, each written by one of the 110 contributors from around the globe. A truly impressive and unenviable effort, with a result that is nothing short of astounding."

First I thought it was poor workmanship, but in reality it's quite clever.
