serif fonts
Letters with feet
Serif fonts are typefaces with small decorative strokes (serifs) extending from the ends of letters.
Times New Roman and Garamond are classic examples.
Serifs are thought to guide the eye along lines of text, making these fonts traditional choices for books and newspapers.
Contrast with sans-serif fonts, which lack these finishing strokes.
