Classify the following typefaces and briefly explain why you believe it should be classified that way:
 |
| Casual script, as this text looks like handwriting and is a more modern take on it and not very overdone and traditional. |
 |
| Black letter, due to the heavily designed, squarish letters which have many high, angular lines. |
 |
| Old Style, since there is little variation in thickness of the characters. And the serifs are small, course, and have a minute concave bases. |
 |
| Modern, because of the hairline serifs that go without bracketing. Also, strong contrast between thick and thin in character strokes is an indication. |
