HISTORICAL CLASSIFICATION OF TYPEFACES
An infinite variety of type styles is available today. Digital typography
has made the entire array of typefaces developed over the centuries
available for contemporary use. Numerous efforts have been made
to classify typefaces, with most falling into the following major
categories. Some classification systems add a decorative, stylized, or
novelty category for the wide range of fanciful type styles that defy
categorization. A selection of decorative typefaces appears on pages
324 and 325.
