Classification

In English, fonts are classified into several groups.
There are three main groups.
1. Serif
2. Sans-Serif
3. Script
Serif: A serif is the pointed ending of a stroke as in “I” or “T”.
This is inspired by the letters carved on stone, using chisels.
Thickness of the strokes also changes in these letter forms,
like those drawn by flat brushes. Serif fonts are known for
their readability and is widely used in text composition for
books, newspapers, magazines etc, where a large amount of
text is to be composed in small point sizes.
Sans Serif: Sans means without. Sans serif means without
Serif. Sans serif fonts have blunt endings to the strokes.
Almost all the strokes look like equal thickness, as if drawn
by a marker pen. Sans serif fonts give a modern look and
is widely used in logos and symbols, packaging, signages,
websites, mobile phone interfaces, gaming consoles etc.
Script: Script fonts recreate the visual styling of calligraphy.
The letters imitate the feeling of calligraphic nibs, with a
slant to the right and changing thickness of strokes. These
fonts give a festive and personal look to the reader and are
very commonly used in wedding invitations.
