Classifying Fonts
When fonts are added to Suitcase Fusion, they are automatically assigned a classification. A font’s classification
is determined by comparing the font’s family name to an internal database of font family names and their
classifications. If Suitcase Fusion is unable to determine a font’s classification, two hyphens display in the Class

classifications. If Suitcase Fusion is unable to determine a font’s classification, two hyphens display in the Class
column.
The default font classification is not always appropriate or desirable, often due to the subjective nature of font
classification. Although the classifications are based on conventional typographic principles, font classification is
not a science. That’s why Suitcase Fusion makes it possible to change a font’s classification and create
classifications.

The default classifications are:
Blackletter/Uncial: A Blackletter typeface, such as Goudy Text, is characterized by medieval or
old English lettering, with ornate capitals, roughly diamond-shape serifs, and thick, mostly-
vertical strokes. Uncial, generally perceived as Celtic or Irish, is also an archaic form, with
rounded letters and calligraphic qualities. American Uncial is a common Uncial typeface.

rounded letters and calligraphic qualities. American Uncial is a common Uncial typeface.
Clarendon: A Clarendon (or Ionic) typeface, such as Bookman, is an offspring of the slab serif
typefaces in which the serifs are bracketed and the letterforms are more akin to sans serif letters,
although contrast is usually low. They are popular for newspaper work because the sturdy serifs
hold up well under adverse printing conditions. Besides Clarendon itself, Bookman is the most
common Clarendon typeface.

Grotesque sans: A Grotesque sans typeface, such as Univers, is the original sans serif
letterform—functional and utilitarian. (Note that the term is a classification, and not a judgment of
beauty.) Helvetica and Franklin Gothic are common Grotesques.

Humanist sans: A Humanist sans typeface, such as Gill Sans, is a sans serif typeface inspired by
other letterforms, commonly serif or inscriptional models. Syntax and Optima are Humanist sans
serifs.

Modern: A Modern serif typeface, such as Fenice, is characterized by vertical stress and strong
contrast. Modern serifs and horizontals are very thin, almost hairlines. The serifs join to letters
with an angle rather than a rounded join. Bodoni is the most common Modern typeface.

Oldstyle: An Oldstyle serif typeface, such as Garamond, is characterized by low to moderate
contrast, diagonal stress, and serifs with a rounded join to the letter. Goudy Oldstyle and
Garamond are common Oldstyle typefaces.

Ornamental: An Ornamental typeface, such as GiddyUp, is unusual or ornate, and either doesn’t
fit cleanly into other categories or is really only suitable for use at display sizes. This includes
inline, outline, and engraved typefaces. Examples include Desdemona, Colonna, and Edda.

Sans serif: A Sans serif typeface, such as Arial, is characterized by little to no contrast and no
serifs. The sans serif classification includes only sans serif fonts that do not fit in the grotesque
and humanist classifications. This includes geometric designs such as Avant Garde, and Art Deco
faces such as Bodega Sans and ITC Anna.

Script: A Script typeface, such as Zapfino, is based on hand lettering, whether with a broad-edge
pen, a flexible steel nib, or a brush. This includes everything from children’s handwriting to
beautiful and ornate Elizabethan roundhand. Common Script typefaces include Shelley, Brush
Script, Present Script, and Mistral.

Serif: A Serif typeface, such as Cochin, is characterized by the finishing strokes on characters
that help lead the eye across a line. The Serif classification includes only serif fonts that do not fit
well into a sub-classification such as Oldstyle, Transitional, Modern, Clarendon, or Slab. This
includes typefaces with unusual serifs, such as the triangular serifs of Versailles.
