Serif Font A typeface with Serifs is called a Serif typeface(or Serifed typeface).Serifs are

considered to be decorative,their appearance may well serve a higher purpose.Serif

typefaces have historically been credited with increasing both readability and reading

speed of long passages of text because they help the eye-travel across a line,especially if

lines are long or have relatively open word spacing(as with some justified type).
