Serif/Sans Serif
There are two general categories of typefaces: Serif and Sans Serif. Serif typefaces use small decorative marks to embellish characters and make them easier to read. Typefaces without these are called Sans Serif ("sans" is French for "without"). Helvetica is a Sans Serif typeface and Times is a Serif typeface.
