Serif/Sans-serif

  • Evgeniia Kovryga
The book is a part of visual documentation and exploration of the different formal qualities of six typefaces for type classification assignment.
The idea: to examine and then compare serif and sans-serif typefaces; and also to argue the popularity of sans-serif faces - serif fonts are readable, beautiful and most of all, contain historical style and should remain on stage. I have decided to accomplish an illustrative resolution. I draw a parallel to a remarkable story of strict families of Montague and Capulet, being sworn enemies for decades. In the new convention, I state that both families of serif and sans-serif can co-exist together, and that a prolong battle between designers choosing for the "correct, best one" has to end.
