Etymology
From beard + line.
noun
- The line below the baseline where the descending letters, such as ⟨p⟩ or ⟨q⟩, sit.“The beardline is the line reached by descenders in letters like p and q.”
- The outline of a beard.“Heavy beardlines on men, for example, tend to appear in the blue color range. Applying a “beard cover” containing orange pigment (the compliment^([sic]) of blue) will , theoretically, neutralize the beardline, bringing it closer to the natural skin tone.”
