Old Style: Dating from the 1490s, old style letter forms have the weight stress of the rounded forms at an angle. The serifs are bracketed by a tapered curved line. The top serifs on the lowercase letters are at an angle. Old Style fonts were created between the late 15th century and mid 18th century. There is little contrast between thick and thin strokes. 
• examples: Bembo, ITC Berkeley Oldstyle, Garamond

Transitional: The thick and thin strokes of the letter forms are of greater contrast than in Old Style faces. The characters are usually wider than Old Style letters. They are called transitional because they represent the initial departure from Old Style. They have a larger x-height. Numerals and cap-height are consistent in size. 
• examples: Baskerville, Georgia, Times New Roman

Modern: This style takes the contrast between thick and thin strokes to further extremes than Transitional. They have small x-height and hairline serifs without bracketing. There is vertical stress in rounded strokes. 
• examples: Didot, Bodoni, Aster

Slab Serif: (also called mechanistic, square serif, or Egyptian) Slab Serif typefaces have thick, block-like serifs. Terminals may be blunt, angular, or rounded. Slab Serifs typically have no bracket. They are most commonly used in headlines and advertisements because of their bold appearance. 
• examples: Memphis, Rockwell, Serifa std

Sans Serif: A typeface without serifs. They usually have less line width variation than serif fonts. Sans serif fonts are often used in headlines.
• examples: Helvetica, Arial, Calibri

Stroke weight: The thickness of lines in a font character
Axis/Stress: Axis is an imaginary line drawn from top to bottom of a glyph bisecting the upper and lower strokes is the axis. Stress is the direction in which a curved stroke changes weight. 
Small caps: Small caps are capital letters that are smaller size than regular capitals in a given font. They are about the same size as normal lowercase letters. 
Lining figures: Lining figures are a modern style of numerals where all figures are the same height and rest on the baseline. 
Non-aligning figures: These are numbers that don't line up with the baseline. 
Ligatures: Two or more letters combined into one character make a ligature. 
Type Measurement: Type measurement is how letters and words are sized. The baseline and cap height are used to align and measure. The basic unit in measuring type is the point. Points are primarily used to measure verticals. Picas are used for horizontal measurement. Leading and kerning are also used to measure.
