Typeface classifications

Typeface classification is the systematic grouping of typefaces based on visual characteristics such as stroke contrast, terminal shapes, and overall design intent. Mastering these categories—serif, sans‑serif, slab‑serif, script, decorative, and display—helps students identify appropriate typefaces for different print media and anticipate exam questions on typographic hierarchy and legibility.
