Serif typeface how to#

I love checking those things and you’ll know a place has a good taste when they know how to choose the right typefaces. Georgia – quite similiar with Bookman Old Style though a bit bolder.Īlright… I’m geeking over fonts now, I know… but who wouldn’t? I mean, do you ever notice the signs everywhere? Let’s say in the malls and roads where it says, exit, entrance, restroom, etc. Oh and the numbers and symbols… What a beauty! And the combination of thin lines with the thick. The serif typefaces I did above was Didot, do you understand now what I mean? I love how that small round stroke at the end of letters c, f, r and y. Not quite fan of the letter Q though, but once you form the letters into words, ahhh… it just shouts elegance. A little closer to typewriter font.Ĭaslon – This one has a higher length and thinner strokes.ĭidot – this is my current favourite. oooh! So handsome!īookman Old Style – This really reminds me of books. Baskerville– I normally used this in most of my documents. I really don’t know why… well, maybe because I used to read books before so it reminds of the old age and how classic and elegant it is to look at. Like I said, we all have our favourites when it comes to typefaces. There’s a certain beauty with that tail hanging on it. Sometimes, I really wish my family name starts with Q. There are times when I see certain serif fonts be it in books or any design, where I can just stare at it and say… Wow! That’s so beautiful. Some have their favourites and some, just like me, are in love with it. Graphic designers moreover typographers, are truly fascinated with typefaces. So if you see those kinds of font, they are called serif. Now in layman’s term, you can distinguish this font with the same look as the typewriter or normally the one used in the books. is a type of font that has a small line stroke attached to the end of a letter or symbol. Now, if this may sound geberish language to you, heres a little fact. Ever since I was introduce with typefaces or fonts, I fell in love right away with all kinds of serif.
