In the case below Ubuntu is known as typeface and Ubuntu light is a font<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serif font<\/strong>
A serif is a small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol. A typeface with serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface). They are known for their classic look. You might have seen them in our school textbooks, magazines and newspapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sans serif<\/strong>
A sans-serif\u2019s are the one that does not have extended strokes at the end of letters. Sans-serif fonts tend to have less line width variation than serif fonts. This style is more clean, readable and modern as compared to serif fonts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Script typefaces are very decorative in nature they are best suited for creatives that have less amount of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kerning<\/strong>
kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tracking<\/strong>
Tracking refers to uniformly increasing or decreasing the horizontal spacing between characters. As you can see in the image above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading<\/strong>
Leading is a typography term that describes the distance between each line of text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good & Bad Use of Fonts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at some good and bad examples of fonts used in creatives.
Fonts have their language and the only thing which matters is how you use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can nail down your design even with a comic sans font only if you use it in a proper manner. Usually, people underestimate fonts and don\u2019t see them as a design element that\u2019s where the creatives lack the uniqueness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
