5 different Serifs and how to distinguish them

Basically we distinguish fonts in serif fonts, san serif fonts, scripts, black letter and others.

Origin of all fonts are not only cuneiform and hieroglyphs and later Rustic Capitals. I would call this font history, might be interesting too. Origin of today’s fonts is writing letters with a quilt. If you look at serif fonts you can clearly imagine the way the monk has wrote the letters with his quilt. When he started to write, set the quilt, formed the letter.

Letters and fonts developed throughout the centuries. Each time has its own way to deal with fonts and writing, tastes and specifics.

Easy for us to distinguish.

Today we will have a closer look at Serif Fonts.

How to find THE Font for YOUR Logo?

I have chatted with customers and fellow designers recently and I found out that both think finding a suitable font is kind of magic or mystery.

I can assure you: it isn’t.

The process doing a logo is sometimes quite long, depending on my ideas or on mismatch of my ideas with the customer’s ideas or technical issues or … whateva.
It is a process.

Today I will show you how I usually find a font for a logo.
Usually the final font is the result of a matter of taste … the taste of YOU – my customer.

Drop that Line over the Counter

Today I would love to talk to you about fonts in general.

You all know by now, that fonts can be classified into major systems. We have serif fonts, we have grotesques or san serif fonts, we have slab fonts, we have script fonts and we have dingbats and we have something I would call fun fonts.

But all fonts have something in common, even dingbats, although they don’t come along with letters but signs.

All fonts are aligned at a kind of typographic line system.
