Serif typefaces

Serif typefaces are fonts that feature small lines or decorative strokes—called "serifs"—at the ends of the main strokes of each letter. These serifs help guide the eye smoothly across lines of text, making them easier to read in printed materials or long blocks of text. Classic examples include Times New Roman and Garamond. Serif fonts are often associated with professionalism, tradition, and authority, making them popular for books, newspapers, and formal documents. Overall, they combine style and readability, providing a balanced and elegant appearance.
