The general term for the notation where multiple words are concatenated with underscores ("_") for specific purposes, such as making word boundaries more visible after combining multiple words into a single string, with all letters in lowercase

line in typography upon which most letters "sit" and below which descenders extend

zero-width space (U+200B), commonly abbreviated “ZWSP”, intended for invisible word separation and for line break control; it has no width, but its presence between two characters does not prevent increased letter spacing in justification

symbol used in mathematics and typography

The word derives from the Latin , meaning red ochre or red chalk, and originates in medieval illuminated manuscripts from the 13th century or earlier. In these, red letters were used to highlight initial capitals (particularly of psalms), section headings and names of religious significance, a practice known as rubrication, which was a sep

Kashida or kasheeda (, ), also known as tatweel or tatwīl (), is a type of justification in written Arabic scripts, in which the line connecting letters is extended. In contrast to white-space justification, which increases the length of a line of text by expanding spaces between words or individual letters, kasheeda creates justification by elongating characters at certain points. Kasheeda justification can be combined with white-space justification.

zero-width joiner (U+200D), commonly abbreviated “ZWJ”: non-printing format control used for the conjoined composition of character sequences needed in some complex scripts and emojis

thumb|Custom lettering on the spine of a 1960s book Lettering or handlettering is a term for artfully drawing letters, instead of writing them simply. Each letter is created with attention to detail and has a unique role within a composition. Lettering is created as an image, with letters that are meant to be used in a unique configuration. Lettering words do not always translate into alphabets that can later be used in a typeface, since they are created with a specific word in mind.

Microprinting is the production of recognizable patterns or characters in a printed medium at a scale that typically requires magnification to read with the naked eye. To the unaided eye, the text may appear as a solid line. Attempts to reproduce by methods of photocopy, image scanning, or pantograph typically translate as a dotted or solid line, unless the reproduction method can identify and recreate patterns to such scale. Microprint is predominantly used as an anti-counterfeiting technique, due to its inability to be easily reproduced by widespread digital methods.

zero-width non-joiner (U+200C), commonly abbreviated “ZWNJ”: non-printing format control character used to prevent joining adjacent characters, to render them with visually separated forms, without ligature between them

A wordmark or word mark is a text-only statement of the name of a product, service, company, organization, or institution that is used for purposes of identification and branding. A wordmark can be an actual word (e.g., Apple), a made-up term that reads like a word (e.g., iPhone), or an acronym, initialism, or series of letters (e.g., IBM).  In some jurisdictions a wordmark may be trademarked, giving it legal distinction, and potentially additional protection of any artistic presentation.

Haplography (from Greek: haplo- 'single' + -graphy 'writing'), also known as lipography (from Greek: lip- from leipein 'to leave/to omit' + -graphy 'writing'), is a scribal or typographical error where a letter or group of letters that should be written twice is written once. It is not to be confused with haplology, where a phoneme is omitted to prevent two similar sounds from occurring consecutively: the former is a textual error, while the latter is a phonological process.
