This term describes the small finishing stroke, foot, or flair that embellishes the terminal ends of a letterform’s primary lines. By extension, this descriptor serves as an overarching category for font families that purposefully weave these ornamental extensions into their physical structures.
Though frequently called serifs in shorthand, this classification is more precisely defined by the presence of these deliberate visual tapers at the outer limits of the characters. This classic design family contains a broad array of historical and stylistic subdivisions. Examples of this elegant style include Plush, Gonzaga, and Audela.
