Today's Tittle: Waist

In typography, the waist (or waistline) runs across the middle of lowercase and uppercase letters.

It’s not a strict measurement, but an optical one, and it shifts depending on the typeface.

Some fonts have a high waist, giving letters a refined, lifted look. Others place it lower, making them feel more grounded or sturdy.

The name comes straight from human anatomy, it defines the balance and posture of the form.
