  2. 1. The ability to either shorten the distance between characters because they're good pals or to make them farther away because they're mortal enemies.
    2. San Serifs have No little lines at the ends. The Serifs do have little lines that make it easier to read from one letter to the next.
    3. Each point is 1/72 of an inch and is used for the sizes of font you wanna use and what not.
    4.That line that's on white lined paper and its where you write your words except when its on a computer its invisible cause there aren't any.
