Serif fonts Serif fonts have sub-categories in most classification systems. Here are a few that recur in most classification systems. Renaissance, or old style typefaces, such as Garamond or Palatino. Also called garalde, these typefaces show almost no variation in thickness. Terminal balls are non-existent. Baroque or transitional typefaces, such as Baskerville or Times Roman. These have greater variations in thickness. Classicist, didone, or modern typefaces. These are created according to geometrically precise norms, and show a great variation in thickness. Examples include Bodoni, Didot and Walbaum. Slab serif typefaces such as Rockwell or Memphis. These are characterized by slabby or blocky serifs.
