Contraespai

En tipografia, el contraespai (de l'anglès: counter-space), o contrapunxó (del francès: contre-poinçon), és l'espai interior blanc de certes lletres. Aquest espai normalment és tancat, però, per extensió, també s'anomenen contraespais aquests espais ‘oberts' que tenen algunes altres lletres.^[1]^[2] El traç que crea aquest espai obert es coneix com a "bol".^[3]
