Why build alphabet design cards from your own material

Alphabet design flashcards work best when they use the exact terms your instructor taught, such as alphabet design flashcards pulled from your own type lecture slides. Generic printable charts show letters, but they rarely cover the anatomy words that appear on exams.

Cards use the terms from your own course material
Spaced repetition schedules reviews automatically
Paid plans export to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX

Example alphabet design flashcards

x-heightThe height of lowercase letters without ascenders or descenders, such as a, n or o. It strongly affects readability at text sizes.

CounterThe enclosed or partly enclosed negative space inside a letter, such as the hole in o or the triangle in A.

AscenderThe part of a lowercase letter, such as b, d or h, that rises above the x-height.

KerningAdjusting the space between a specific pair of letters, such as A and V, so the pair looks evenly spaced.

TerminalThe free end of a stroke that is not closed by a serif, such as the tip of the arm on a lowercase c.

Generate the full set

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX or PPTX files, plain notes, or photos of a textbook page. Text recognition reads the photos.

Spaced repetition

Cards come back at growing intervals, so terms like x-height and counter stay in memory longer.

Study anywhere

Study in the browser on the free plan. Paid plans add PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add your type class slides, a handout, or photos of your sketchbook pages.

Review the generated cards

Check each front and back against your lecture so the terminology matches your course.

Study on a schedule

Work through the deck daily and let spaced repetition bring back the cards you miss.

A custom deck also keeps the vocabulary tied to the examples you actually studied. Terms like counter, ascender and kerning are easier to recall when the card reflects the sample your class used.

Start with one unit, such as letterform anatomy or spacing, and add more material as you go. Each new upload becomes its own deck you can review on the same schedule.

Frequently asked questions

What terms should alphabet design flashcards include?

Focus on letterform anatomy first, such as x-height, baseline, ascender, descender, counter and serif. Add spacing terms like kerning and leading once those are solid.

How do I study letterform anatomy terms quickly?

Pair each term with a letter that shows it, such as the counter in o or the ascender in d. Review the cards for a few minutes daily instead of cramming before a test.

Can I export my alphabet cards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
