Typeface classification

Typeface classification groups fonts based on their visual style and design characteristics. The main categories include serif (with small lines or strokes at the ends of characters), sans-serif (without those lines, for a clean look), script (resembling handwriting), and display (ornate or decorative fonts used for impact). These classifications help designers choose appropriate fonts for different purposes, such as readability or branding. Essentially, classification organizes fonts into familiar types, making it easier to select the right style for a project.
