FONT TYPES & STYLES
TYPE CLASSIFICATIONS• Most typefaces can be classified into one of four basic groups: those with serifs, those
without serifs, scripts and decorative styles. Over the years, typographers and scholars of typography have devised various systems to more definitively categorize typefaces – some of these systems have scores of sub-categories.
• A classification system can be helpful in identifying, choosing and combining typefaces. While four categories are clearly inadequate for design professionals, dozens become self-defeating.
