Sophisticated Serifs.

Curated by the Monotype Studio.

Monotype Fonts.

Serifs, the short cross-strokes at the beginning and end of a letterform, originated from ancient Rome, where letters were chiseled into stone following the guidance of painted letters, which always flared at the end of the brushstroke. Serifs have many uses, including for text in print products, as they are more legible than sans serifs, especially at small sizes, and to create a specific look and feel for a brand. Monotype Fonts has options for every serif design need; here are a few samples from our serif inventory.
