TYPE I: Define Font Classification in general terms

Old Style: "Shows a marked departure from simply mimicking the handwriting of earlier Italian scholars and scribes." In this period, that you can see type getting more popular.

Examples: Calisto, Goudy Old Style

Traditional: Was formed in the late 17th century as an "improved style". Later was it named "transitional". It shares some characteristics of Venetian Old Style, yet it features stronger stroke contrast, curves and round letters with vertical stress, slightly rounded serifs.

Examples: Baskerville, Caslon, Sabina

Modern: It is a style of typeface developed in the late 18th century that continued through much of the 19th century. It has very high contrast between thick and thin strokes and flat serifs.

Examples: Bodoni, Didot, Bernhard Modern Roman

Slab Serif: It is a type of serif font that evolved from the Modern style. The serifs are square and larger, bolder than serifs of previous typestyles.

Examples: Clarendon, American Typewriter, Rockwell

Sans Serif: Is type which does not have serifs. "There are five main classifications: Grotesque, Neo-Grotesque, Geometric, Humanist, and Informal. Typefaces within each classification usually share similarities in stroke thickness, weight, and the shapes of certain letterforms."

Examples: Verdana, Futura, Univers

Script: Are connected, flowing letters resembling hand writing with pen or quill. Either slanted or upright. Sometimes with a left-hand slant.

Examples: Backadder, Edwardian Script, French Script

Blackletter: Are also known as Gothic fonts. They "are sans serif typefaces. Serifs are the cross strokes at the ends of the main strokes of a letter. Gothic fonts are relatively uniform in stroke weight."

Examples: Authentic Ink, Young Blood, Mahalia

Grunge: I am not sure but they "have subtle dirty elements, providing the content with the dominant position it deserves."

Examples: Bulliten, Film, Gritzpop

Monospaced: "A monospaced font is one in which every character takes up the same amount of horizontal space."

Examples: 1913 Typewriter, 7 Days 2003, Andale Mono

Undeclared: I could not find his font definition but I would think that it is a typeface that is not in a specific category of fonts as the others are.

Examples: I will find some.
