• Sans Serif: does not have extending features called "serifs" at the end of strokes. There are:
  
  • Geometric:Constructed from geometric shapes, such as circles, triangles or straight lines. These Typefaces display little to none contrast between stroke directions, thus having no clearly visible axis and appearing rather mechanical almost mathematical.
  
  
  • Grotesque:Grotesque Typefaces have less of a calligraphic influence, displaying a low stroke contrast. Their appearance can be described as robust and constructed.
  
  
  • Humanist:These Sans Serif Typefaces have been developed under calligraphic influence, thus showing a moderate to high contrast between strokes and may even contain the suggestion of Serifs.

• Serif: small line attached to the end of a stroke in a letter or symbol.
  
  • Geralde:The garaldes have finer proportions than the humanists, and a stronger contrast between downstroke and upstroke. The weight of the garaldes are distributed according to an oblique axis.
  
  
  • Glyphic:High contrast between strokes using mostly unbracketed, technical serifs on a vertical axis.
  
  
  • Humanist:These are the most calligraphic of the sans-serif typefaces, with some variation in line width and more legibility than other sans-serif fonts.
  
  
  • Modern
  
  
  • Transitional:The transitional, realist or réales are the typical typefaces of the traditional period.

• Slab Serif: Typefaces with rectangular and very often strong serifs.
  
  

Fractal Resources

(Quick) Guide to Fractal ResourcesGallery Descriptions & Miscats Month
Hello everyone! I'm C-91 and today I'll be helping Mocris (your current Resources & Stock Images Community Volunteer) cover the topic of Fractal Resources.
Any person who wants to have a go at Fractal Art (check my article on the subject here) needs to know what the tools of the trade are, how they work and what they can do, and have a general knowledge about the add-ons. DA has plenty of these resources, located in dedicated galleries. The main subcategories are:
Resources and Stock Images:Tutorials > Application Reference > ApophysisTutorials > Fractal TutorialsFractal Resources > GradientsFractal Resources > Parameter PacksFractal Resources > Plug-insFractal Resources > Scripts
I'll be explaining in detail what belongs in these galleries, providing you with basic notions about fractal programs where needed.
