Serif gallery

In typography, serifs are the small lines tailing from the edges of letters and symbols, such as when handwriting is separated into distinct units for a typewriter or typsetter. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface). A typeface without serifs is called sans serif or sans-serif, from the French sans, meaning “without”. Some typography sources refer to sans-serif typefaces as "Grotesque" (in German "grotesk") or "Gothic", and serif typefaces as "Roman".

  1. Ada beberapa yang masuk ke dalam decoratif seperti: ABCD...Z
    Kenapa? anatominya sudah modifikasi... huruf ini sudah susah terbacanya, dan hanya bisa digunakan untuk decoratif/display text.

    Beberapa yang lain basicnya memang serif, tapi karena sudah dimodifikasi (dikasih shadow, outline, emboss, tekstur) juga termasuk dekoratif.
    Misalnya: holmes (tekstur), grace (drop shadow), it's my time (efek), dst
