Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A Stroke attached to or extending from the open ends of a letterform is known as the Serif. Serif also refers to the general category of typefaces that have been designed with this feature. Typefaces without a serif are known as Sans-Serif typefaces. “Serif” comes from the Dutch word “schreef” meaning “line".

Detailed explanation-2: -The decorative strokes: A serif is a decorative stroke that extends off the end of a letterform. Typefaces that have serifs are referred to as serif typefaces, while sans-serif typefaces do not have those decorative strokes. Some popular examples of serif typefaces are Times New Roman, Garamond, and Georgia.

Detailed explanation-3: -A serif font contains serifs-tiny projections or “tails” at the ends of the strokes in a letter. A typical example is Times New Roman. A font like Arial, which does not have serifs, is called a sans serif font (from the French word sans, meaning “without”).

Detailed explanation-4: -Serif fonts have little strokes called serifs attached to the main part of the letter. Because of their classic look, they’re a good choice for more traditional projects.

Detailed explanation-5: -In typography, a serif is the small extra stroke found at the end of the main vertical and horizontal strokes of some letters. Some serifs are subtle and others are pronounced and obvious. In some cases, serifs aid in the readability of a typeface. The term “serif fonts” refers to any style of type that has serifs.
