Popular serif fonts
Serif typography has an extra decorative stroke at the endings of lines in the lettering and the so-called feet of letters. They tend to be perceived as more traditional and classic since they are the first kind of typography that dates back to the 18th century when old-style typography started being used in print. Companies who use them try to exude a sense of refinement, tradition and respectability as the core characteristics of their brands.
