Anatomy of the Letter E & Typographic Proportions

As the most frequently used letter in the English language (accounting for ~12.7% of all written letters), the design of the letter E is crucial. In uppercase, the vertical stem supports three horizontal arms: the top arm, the middle arm (traditionally drawn slightly shorter and placed above the mathematical midpoint to prevent optical sag), and the bottom arm (the foundation).
