Introducing Font Collections
Serif
These fonts are named because of the little details, known as serifs, at the end of the character strokes. They are particularly noticeable when using uppercase letters. A few examples would be Times New Roman, Georgia, and Palatino.
Sans-serif fonts
These fonts do not have much deatil at the end of their character strokes. Among serif fonts they have a more plain appearance. A few examples would be Trebuchet MS, Arial, and Verdana
Monospace
Fonts such as Couriewr and Monotype give equal spacing to every letter ("I" has the same amouunt of space as "M") and are typically used for code blocks in cpmputer-related books or to simulate the look of a typewriter, whatever that is
Cursive
Cursive fonts are meant to resemble handwriting. A few examples would include Comic Sans MS and Brush Script. Cursive fonts tend to have very thin strokes, that being sad they are hard to read and arent used in web pages much.
