Typefaces can be classified into four basic groups: serif, sans serif, script, and decorative. Serif typefaces include styles like old style, transitional, and slab. Sans serif styles include grotesque, square, and humanistic. Script styles include formal, casual, and calligraphic. Decorative styles provide more unique designs like grunge, psychedelic, and graffiti. While classifications help identify and choose fonts, too many subcategories become overwhelming for design professionals. The document examines font type classifications and styles to provide examples for font selection and pairing.

1. FONT TYPES & STYLES

2. 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.
