Serif Sub-Classifications & Typographic Anatomy
From Renaissance Roman carving to modern publishing Didones:
Old Style
Diagonal stress, bracketed serifs, and moderate stroke contrast. Examples: Cormorant Garamond, Merriweather.
Transitional
Sharper serifs and more pronounced vertical stroke contrast. Examples: Playfair Display, Libre Baskerville.
Didone (Modern)
Extreme vertical stress and unbracketed razor hairlines for luxury editorial identity. Example: Bodoni Moda.
