Font Types

  1. Serif Fonts: These fonts have small lines (serifs) attached to the end of their strokes. They are often seen as more traditional and formal. Examples include Times New Roman, Georgia, and Baskerville.

  2. Sans-serif Fonts: These fonts lack the serifs, giving them a cleaner and more modern look. They are often used for digital content and are considered more readable on screens. Examples include Arial, Helvetica, and Calibri.

  3. Monospaced Fonts: Each character in these fonts occupies the same amount of horizontal space. They are commonly used in coding and for typewriters. Examples include Courier, Consolas, and Monaco.

  4. Script Fonts: These fonts mimic handwriting or calligraphy. They often have decorative flourishes and are used for invitations, logos, and creative designs. Examples include Brush Script, Lucida Handwriting, and Pacifico.

  5. Decorative/Display Fonts: These fonts are highly stylized and often used for titles and headlines to grab attention. They can vary widely in design and may not always prioritize readability. Examples include Impact, Chiller, and Comic Sans.

  6. Modern Fonts: These fonts have a clean and geometric appearance with high contrast between thick and thin strokes. They are often used in fashion, luxury branding, and editorial design. Examples include Didot, Bodoni, and Futura.

  7. Slab Serif Fonts: Similar to serif fonts, but with thicker, block-like serifs. They have a more modern and bold appearance and are often used for headlines and signage. Examples include Rockwell, Courier New, and Museo Slab.

  8. Handwritten Fonts: These fonts mimic the look of handwriting and add a personal touch to designs. They are often used for informal or creative projects. Examples include Comic Sans MS, Bradley Hand, and Kristen ITC.
