These types of fonts can also be used with logotypes, headlines or headings on websites, magazines, or book covers. These fonts can transcend styles and can be a serif font, slab serif, script, sans serif, and so on. Some fonts will include a display version in which the original design has been embellished or exaggerated for use at a larger size.
