Type Faces Classifications - A Guide in Choosing Type Faces
- Serif
Serif is a small line, tailing the edges of the letters and any fonts contains these tailing edges of letters is known as serif font. Some types of serif:
- Humanist serif A humanist font emulates classical calligraphy and contains some contrasting strokes that creates a classic and traditional feel that's great for journalism or educational applications.
- Transitional serif A transitional serif has a much sharper serif than humanist and has much more contrasting strokes between the thick and thin strokes of the letters that creates a strong, stylish, and dynamic feel that's great for traditional academia and legal applications.
- Modern serif The modern serif has a very thin, horizontal serif and a high contrast between strokes that creates a structured, clear, and elegant feel that's great for arts and culture applications.
- Egyptian (Slab serif) The last style of the serif font is egyptian, and they are known for having a heavy, boxy serif and almost no contrast for the strokes that creates an authoritative, yet friendly feel that's great for marketing and promotional applications.
- Sans-Serif
Sans is the French for 'without' and that's the reason that any font without a serif is known as a sans-serif. And like the serif font, in this classification, sans-serif font has more different styles.- Humanist sans-serif font
Like humanist serif font, it emulates calligraphy and has minimum contrast in its strokes. This creates the tension between perfect and imperfect that's great for government or educational applications. - Traditional sans-serif
The traditional sans-serif has an upright, uniform characters and a strong strokes that creates an unassuming and modern feel that's great for technology and transportation applications. - Geometric sans-serif
And lastly, there is geometric sans-serif. Gemoetric sans-serif is a geometric shapes form the backbones of the letters. This creates a very strict, objective, and universal feel that's great for science or architecture application.
- Humanist sans-serif font
- Script
Script font mimic modern caligraphy. They really great for adding human element for a website but they're not so great for body copy because it's quite difficult to read. Some you should know is comic sans technically a script font, not a sans-serif font and should not be used for body copy or really anywhere, ever.
When selecting typefaces for your application, feel free to mix and mingle. Because one type of typefaces are often not enough; adding another can create quite a beautiful effect.
Using serif for the headline and inner paragraph and sans-serif for the body copy is perhaps the simplest and most effective way to mix typefaces. When mixing typefaces there are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind:
- Don't choose fonts from the same style (ex: Humanist serif with Humanist serif)
- Don't choose fonts from the same class (ex: Humanist serif with Slab serif)
- When mixing classes, find a similar trait (ex: Humanist serif with Humanis Sans)
Use fonts that have quite in common. - The trait can even be largely abstract (ex: Transitional Serif and Humanis sans which is created by the same person)
- Strive for contrast over harmony
Principle: Keep it the same, or change a lot
