# Serif

Compare the same text specimen.

ID: serif

## Concept

Serifs add finishing strokes at letter terminals.

## Example

All five specimens share a sentence, iiiWWW 0123, and the same numbers. Edit the specimen, adjust its size, and show measured width guides or tabular digits. Text remains shaped as one string. Reset or reload restores the initial text at 48px. Mark H terminals to inspect the serif details.

## When to choose it

Choose it when an editorial tone fits. Korean and Japanese use Noto Serif CJK subsets; unsupported characters fall back, so inspect actual glyphs.
