    It is shown that the cardinality of a nonempty set of points without tangents in the desarguesian projective plane \(\text{PG}(2,q)\), \(q\) even, is at least \(q+1+ \sqrt{q/6}\) provided that the set is not of even type; and some useful combinatoric properties of this finite geometry are given.
