## Typefaces
|
|
|
|
Typefaces or font families can be roughly divided into the following styles:
|
|
|
|
- Serif typefaces use serifs - the small feature at the end of the strokes
|
|
within letters.
|
|
- Sans-serif typefaces do not use serifs.
|
|
- Monospace typefaces are typefaces with all glyphs having the same width.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the usage and definition japanese, chinese and korean fonts can be
|
|
seen as a separate style.
