  3. Script or Cursive cursive, script/cursiveTypefaces that resemble informal handwriting. Letters in cursive typefaces may or may not have joining strokes; sometimes these typefaces incorporate a combination of both joining and non-joining letters.

  4. Decorative or Novelty A type classification for an unusual collection of ornamental typefaces having especially individual, decorative forms. Typefaces that fall into this category are often unrelated in design and may combine style characteristics from different typeface classifications; many all-capital typefaces are also included. Often typefaces that are difficult to classify are simply classified as decorative/display.

  5. Decorative fonts can be used for headlines, but not for body copy.

  6. DecorativeorNoveltyfonts can be fun and exciting at first, but they can get old and overused. But, like bad fashion, these fonts can go out of style fast.

  7. Paragraph Styles: Designers choose what paragraph shape is needed on a page to make the page look good as an over-all design.

  8. Paragraph Styles: Justified type is even on both sides.

  9. Aligned Left=Ragged Right=Flush Left The term Ragged is used to identify body copy or text in which each line is not even. The effect is that one side of the column of text will not line up vertically. The term Ragged Right is usually used in association with Flush Left. This is also know as unjustified type setting

  10. Aligned Right=Ragged Left=Flush Right The term Ragged is used to identify body copy or text in which each line is to a different measure. The effect is that one side of the column of text will not line up vertically. The term Ragged Left is usually used in association with Flush Right. This is also know as unjustified type setting

  11. Centered Type Centered alignment is often used for short headlines. If you're centering text for a paper, it could tend to look like a formal paper. This type of text is usually used for wedding invitations, special celebrations, and official announcements. Using centered type for more than  three to four lines can cause difficulty in reading since readers have trouble searching for the beginning of each line. Never center long bodies of type.
