What is meant by the term “baseline-counterparts” in this comparison of Plantin to Bookman and Clarendon? I’m not familiar with the term, but imagine it’s a collective name for ascenders and descenders?
“The baseline-counterparts, with their impetuous and heavy brackets and the square-cut ends, look similar to those of Bookman or Clarendon (Haley 85)”
