A serif is a small stroke at the end of the letter bar. Two of the most popular serif or Roman typefaces are
Times New Roman and
Century Schoolbook. Serifs can take different forms. These can include: Curved serifs, such as in
Garamond, which is an example of a French Renaissance Antiqua; or fine strokes such as in the case of
Bodoni, an example of a classic Roman. We will soon have a feature on slab serifs equipped with strong geometric serifs. You’ll find a
selection of typefaces including slab serifs equipped with bold, geometric serifs here.
