Overview

Font Types

Font types are typographic categories classified based on character shapes and features. There are five main classifications: Serif, Sans-Serif, Script, Display, and Monospace, each suitable for different impressions and purposes. These classifications are widely used as the foundation of design, from print materials to digital screens.
