There are many different styles used in type faces:
- Serifs appear as lettering with alterations to the lettering, such as adding small flicks at the ends of letters, or shortening the lines used to create certain letters.
- San Serifs are another form of a Serif, the only difference is that they lack any alterations to the lettering.
- Fonts that mimic calligraphy (the 'art' in ones' writing style) is referred to as a Script typeface.
- Mono spaced typefaces always have equal widths in the glyph of the lettering. Generally, the size of Mono spaced typefaces are usually small in height, yet wide in width.
- Mimicry is an unusual typeface, as it's main role is to create a foreign, unfamiliar atmosphere. It can either appear to be partially eligible, or complete utter nonsense, using either symbols or drawings.
I then began to experiment with five of these font styles by applying them to my original design.
(Do bear in mind that the Wingdings font was a terrible idea, which is why its addition to the experimentation was invalid!)
