Serif
In typography, a serif /ˈsɛrɪf/ is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol,[1] such as when handwriting is separated into distinct units for a typewriter or typesetter. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface). A typeface without serifs is called sans serif or sans-serif, from the French sans, meaning "without". Origins and etymology[edit] Serifs originated in the Latin alphabet with inscriptional lettering—words carved into stone in Roman antiquity. The origin of the word serif is obscure, but apparently almost as recent as the type style. In 1827, a Greek scholar, Julian Hibbert, printed with his own experimental uncial Greek types, remarking that the types of Bodoni's Callimachus were "ornamented (or rather disfigured) by additions of what I believe type-founders call syrifs or cerefs." The OED's earliest citation for "grotesque" in this sense is 1875, giving stone-letter as a synonym. East Asian analogues[edit] Old Style[edit]

Romeral, a display typeface
I’ve designed Romeral, a display typeface, in the beginning of 2004 in order to accompany my text typefaces.Romeral is designed to produce a noticeable visual impact that invites the audience to the reading due to its sizable thickness.Interestingly enough, the basic idea was to find a way to fill the color titles zone in order to create a comfortable atmosphere for the reading experience.Nowadays, the complex typography of the typefaces makes it very hard for the designer to work with it comfortably. Romeral’s straight geometric form allows an amateur designer to modify its points without much difficulty The idea is to be able to easily design a personalized layout of the text. The complementary "Inline" variation allows for alternative uses of the typeface. I thank you in advance for your attention and support of the blog.
