In English typography, fonts are classified into three main categories: I) Serif II) Sans Serif III) Script. I) Serif is the font with sharp pointy end strokes, a serif font always has a small line or stroke at the end of each letter, and it is inspired by letters carved on the stone using chisels. II) Sans Serif is the opposite of Serif. Sans means absent; in this font, the letters have a blunt ending; they do not have Serif's small strokes. III) The script is the font inspired by the written words, and calligraphy. It is used in more personal designs, like a wedding or a party invitation. Final Answer Serif is the font type with pointy end strokes, which was inspired by stone carvings by chisels, it is mostly used in books and magazines. Examples for serif fonts are Times New Roman, Bookman old style. Sans Serif, does not possess the pointy end strokes, Sans Serif has blunt edges to the letters, and this font is used for making logos. Examples for Sans Serif fonts are Arial and Calibri.
