A small line or stroke regularly attached to the end of a larger stroke in a letter or symbol within a particular font or family of fonts. A typeface or font family making use of serifs is called a serif typeface (or serifed typeface), and a typeface that does not include them is a sans-serif one. Some typography sources refer to serif typefaces as “roman,” and to sans-serif typefaces as “grotesque” or “gothic.” ← Wikipedia
