► Find amazing fonts with Envato Elements. With one subscription you can try them all: elements.envato.com/fonts?utm... Building a good font collection is like having a closet. You need to have a range of different font types and to know how and when to use them. Typefaces come in all different shapes and sizes and can be categorized depending on their characteristics. Fonts can be based in different eras-most type forms were influenced by history. Classifying fonts can help you decide which style to choose and what combinations to use for your next project.
There’s no single classification system; many have been proposed. With so many variables, it's difficult to classify fonts in specific groups. In the last few years, we’ve experienced an explosion of fonts, and many of them blur the lines of type.
In this video, learn about the different types of font classifications that have emerged throughout history. This hybrid list is sure to help you find the right font type for your next project. To understand better the differences and how to spot a specific font style, check out Typography: Anatomy of a Letter • Typography: Anatomy of...

This was really good. It explained the components of typography indirectly through its application, then it explained a lot of different font categories and subcategories based on typographic choices, and then it also gave some design reasoning for choosing one font over another for a certain purpose. Thanks to the TOC it also can be used as referenced to come back to later while doing actual design work. Thanks a lot for this video.

I started exploring and downloading the fonts back in 2014 without knowing the types as I had no idea about the categories but with the help of this video and some pages, I got to know more about fonts. Thanks a lot.

Very good, like sitting in class again (1980s). One thing is to make sure the font has a complete range if it's going to be used with a corporate identity.

I like the details provided on the font types. But, it doesn't actually tell you much about how to use them. For some types it doesn't say anything at all. So the title is inaccurate
