  1. old style font

    Old style font, also known as humanist or serif typeface, refers to a particular style of typefaces developed during the 15th - 17th centuries. These fonts have small embellishments or strokes at the ends of the letterforms, distinguishing them from other types. Their proportions and shapes are inspired by classical architecture, with heavier weights generally towards the bottom of the letters, mimicking the way a pen interacts with a writing surface. Examples of old style fonts include Garamond, Bembo and Palatino.
