Typography
Typography is the art and technique of arranging type, type design, and modifying type glyphs.
Typeface
In typography, a typeface is a set of one or more fonts, in one or more sizes, desinged with stylistic unity, each comprising a coordinated set of glyphs.
Serif
In typography, serifs are semi-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols.
Sans Serif
In typography, a sans-serif or sans serif typeface is one that does not have the small features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. The term comes from the Latin word "sine", via the French word sans, meaning "without".
Script
Script typefaces are based upon the varied ans often fluid stroke created by handwriting. They are organized into highly regular formal types similar to cursive writing and looser, more casual scripts.
Ornamental/Decorative typefaces
Ornamental (also known as novelty or sometimes display) typefaces are used exclusively for decorative puposes, and are not suitable for body text. They have the most distinctive designs of all fonts, and may even incorporate pictures of objects, animals, etc. into the character designs.
