Old Style Family: Garamond (15th – 17th Century)
For this letter, I made sure to keep my strokes thick and to pay attention to heavily each letter was bracketed. This letter is a representation of classical calligraphy.
Transitional: Baskerville (Mid 18th Century)
For this type, I think that I personally like it because it seems a bit more formal for typing. There is a HUGE contrast between the thick and thin strokes within the letters unlike with the Clarendon Light.
Modern: Bodoni (Late 18th Century
For this type, the strokes were kept thin and the sides were kept thick. It is as if the only way that you would be able to tell which letter is which is by squinting at the thin hairlines. Some people differentiate letter by brackets, but this is one of those moments where you would have to pay close attention to the letters.
Egyptian or Slab Serif: Clarendon Light (19th Century)
egyptian-or-slab-serif-clarendon-light
For this type, I think it became my favorite to mimic because everything seemed pretty balanced out. The thin and thick strokes on the serifs seemed very similar and did not have much difference between them.
San Serif: Helvetica (19th – 20th Century)
As we know, this type is very bold. I made sure to keep this type BOLD, yet more precise. As in not too bold that it wasn’t legible.
