Review Week 17

Go to www.ilovetypography.com. Under "Popular Articles", click on "Who Shot the Serif?" Read the article. At the end of the article, the author asks a question. Answer that question in this post and discuss your findings.
After reading this article, I learned several things. First of all, I didn't know that the origin of "serif"  is in ancient Rome. In addition, there are several types of serifs, but the two main types are Adnate and Abrupt. The Adnate serif is more organic and natural. On the other hand, the Abrupt serif is a squarer, more rigid letter.
