About Serif Fonts

Serif fonts refer to fonts that have small decorative flourishes at the end of strokes. In some situations, serif fonts are also referred to as “Roman”. The most common serif font is Times New Roman.

It is said that serifs make the individual letters more distinctive and our brain can spend less time on recognizing letters so Serif fonts are considered to be easier to read on printed material such as books and newspapers, where they are used most. However, things may be different for the web. Since computer screen has a much lower resolution than printed works like books and newspapers, serif fonts can make the letters pixilated and hard to read. Hence, for online publishing, sans serif fonts are usually preferred. Tabac designed by Suitcase Type Foundry is a typical serif font family. It is a static typeface with modern shapes and distinct, wedge shaped serifs and it is mainly designed for the setting of newspapers, magazines and books.
