serif vs sans as video fonts
One of the first determinations to be made when selecting a typeface for text is Serif or Sans Serif?
Many experts say that Sans Serif fonts are a better typeface recommendation in videos as they appear bold and neat while they transit.
Serif on the other hand is a font commonly used for the print media. The letters adorned in strokes gives an outlook of a classic style mixed with a modern imprint and it goes well with newspapers.
The other classifications of the font family consists of Scripts and decorative. Scripts are what we might think of as cursive or handwriting-style fonts. They generally have connected letters. You’ll find that script fonts come in many different styles, from elegant, to fun and casual, to hand-drawn.
When you hear a font categorized as decorative, display, or novelty, it all means the same thing — that font is meant to get your attention. They’re often more unusual than practical and should only be used in small doses and for a specific effect or purpose.

The personality of a font

Typography is a visual summary. You make the words convey the emotion. There is something in the way the tracking, the leading and the kerning of an alphabet moves. Together it defines the ‘mood’ and ‘personality’ of the fonts.
For instance, you want to choose a stylish font for the name of the website. You surely would not opt for a boring Arial, or a Calibri font for the font design. Instead, you would go for something snazzy and unique; something that conveys the site’s ambience by its very look and displays the zeal the name carries.
Yes. Fonts have a personality.
