{A brief exploration of artistic elements in lettering} {Jennifer Claudio, Sally Ha} {This non-technical talk explores the stylistic elements of letter forms as used in arts and culture through an examination of elongations and decorations with a focus on the letter E. Samples discussed are derived from the calligraphy of Don Knuth's \textsl{3\,:\,16}, in samples of street art, and in typographic branding.}
