I know this is typed in Slab Serif because all the lines and curves are the same weight and thickness and also because the serifs are squared.

This was typed in Script because it resembles handwriting with the connected letters and flexible, smooth lines.

This is decorative because it too busy to be written for the whole body but it grabs the attention of the readers by being used as a headline or title

04.png
This is Sans Serif because all of the letters are exactly uniform and same weight. There are no serifs and all the letters have a monotone look. 


07.png
This is Blackletter because the letters have different weights and resemble caligraphy. It is a type of decorative typeface because of the elaborate strokes.

This is Roman Style because the letters have a small variation of thick and thin strokes with wedged serifs.
