I Shot the Serif

3626399500x500

Ok, so this is a geeky title. Serif fonts are fonts… Wait. Wikipedia is your friend.

In typography, serifs are semi-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols. A typeface that has serifs is called a serif typeface (or seriffed typeface). A typeface without serifs is called sans-serif, from the French sans, meaning “without”. Some typography sources refer to sans-serif typefaces as “grotesque” (in German “grotesk”) or “Gothic,” and serif types as “Roman.”

And of course, I Shot The Sheriff (and not Serif) is a song made by Bob Marley.
